A heavy duty build that should last quite a few years. It puts out impressive heat when needed, yet too much when around freezing or above - wish I could throttle the air intake down, but how to adjust? Wood will not orient well depth-wise. Charcoal ash builds up too easily past the lower opening edge and creates a mess when opening the door (most every time), especially burning Birch. I find this is a messy stove when comparing to others I have used. For the shop-use that's acceptable, but not compared to the Pacific Energy in my home - my wife enjoys cleanliness. I will be getting the outdoor fresh air option to increase the heat retention for this leaky old mobile home workshop, especially when temperatures plummet. I should have purchased the Black Stag instead - unfortunately not available at that time. Overall, it is the heavy duty stove it promised to be with impressive heat output, yet the ash-well should have been designed deeper. It has a reasonable over-night burn time for easy morning starts. Next year I will cut 15" cords instead of the normal 17" so that the orientation is depth-wise, which I suspect is a better, cleaner burn, front to back. Purchased and installed October 2022.
