We really like it. The only down sides we have found: 1. Ash tray is small and needs emptying daily 2. Like all low emissions stoves it has a secret uncontrollable extra air source so you can't turn it right down. I found it was at the top of the side glass. Some fire cement removed that eco feature. Other than those points it provides loads of heat to the house and can swallow large logs. So we love it.
