Dutchwest Cast Iron Small 2460
I like the stove, it heats very well and is quite easy to use.
However, the inner top is cracked and severly warped so bad that the catalytic combuster is essentially useless. In 5 weeks, have contacted three local area Dutchwest dealers to try and get a replacement inner top assy. They do not return phone calls and have been of no help.
Very disappointed.

I found your site from Hearth. Looks good. This Dutchwest stove has done the job for me, but if I were going to get a new one I'd get something else.

Owned mine for 5 years and just replaced gaskets on the doors. More than adequate for my 1200 sq. ft. to the point of opening doors. Here in Michigan gets cold and I use less than 6 face cords a year.
