Dutchwest Cast Iron Extra Large 2462
Good heater. Had trouble with it back puffing smoke the first couple of years. Put in new double wall chimney and completely changed the performance. Will burn all nite at sub-zero temp. Catalyst will last 4-5 years.

The cast iron burns warps and burns itself out over time. The inside top falls into firebox.

It's really not a very good stove. You'll spend a lot of time repairing it, very poor draft compared to my old stove. I'm not impressed with it and the dealer was useless.
