Love it. My husband puts wood in at 6:00 as he heads to work. He puts wood in at night when he gets home. The temperature in the house never drops below 69. Had the stove 2 years and I have not touched it yet. All the mess is outside, ashes, wood, etc. I used to have all that in my house and hated it. My father-in-law has the bigger one out on the farm. He’s 87 and still operates his own stove with no help, but his boys come over to cut wood for him. They laugh the whole time together. Very easy to load up with wood. With propane costs being so high, it was well worth the investment.
