We did alot of research looking for just the right stove. Not a ton of reviews on the Drolet Escape 1500 stoves. Ours was delivered with a damaged door gasket. Unfortunately I did not see this until after our old stove was removed and new stove installed. Going to be some very cold nights until Drolet sends me out a new gasket/glue under warranty. Other than that, it is a beautiful wood burning stove! Unbelievable heavy. We are very excited to use it and can promise we will be hugging it until we get warmed up.
