Huh? You admit overfiring it for 3 years and yet call 'em terrible?! Dang, with a review like that I may have to look at US stoves next time!
Pretty good apparently! I don't think there are too many "bad" stoves out there anymore. Just some "better" than others. Some work good for most people (NC30) some are "prettier", some have better customer service, some have better warranty, some are known to last a lifetime, some have super long burn times. My personal opinion, you just need to do some research, pick the one that works for you and go for it...
Edit: I am referring to "EPA" style stoves, not those $200 china cast iron POS things...
