I have been using the Duchwest "large" for about three weeks. Very satisfactory so far. It is clean, provides lots of heat, fire lasts over night with enough coals left to quickly restart the fire. The Catalytic Combustor lights off on schadule at 500 degrees It is I think a good choice for those needing a stove to use 24/7.Overall Performance:

Had one for 10yrs. Replacement catalytic converter didn't work all that well. Side door lets a lot of smoke out. Reversable output doesn't have a gasket and lets smoke leak. Had to make one. Never could tell how much to open the secondary air control.Overall Performance:

Had mine, a used one, since January this year (previous owner needed a bigger stove). Bought 5 cord of wood and still have approx. 2 cords left. Replaced most gasket seals. Smoke does sometimes leak into house via doors. Had to muck around with it for awhile to figure out best way to operate it.Thermal mass is incredible though (live in old 1-room brick schoolhouse) and yes, ...

GREAT STOVE 2006 MADE IN U.S.A. CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS A LEARNING CURVE BUT ONCE YOU GET USE TO OPENING THE BYPASS DAMPNER AND LETTING THE "CAT"GET TO 500 DEG. F THEN SWITCHING THE DAMPNER TO "CAT" MODE LIFE IS GOOD!MAKE SURE BY PASS DAMPNER IS OPEN WHEN YOU LOAD WOOD THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF ANY"BACKPUFFING".Overall Performance:

Great stove and in use for over 5 years. Get a Vogelzangtype stove themometer from any hardware store to
monitor temp levels. Catalytic converter works best at 500+
degrees and burns less wood on this setting. Plan on replacing the door seal in about 2 years (cheap from hardware store). One thing you will need to get used to is
sighting the position of the converter ...

Have had this stove for 12 years. Salesman said it was a real workhorse and he was right. Will effectively heat a well insulated 2000+ square foot home for about a 6 hour burn time. Have replaced catalyst twice. Anyone reporting problems with this stove wasn't burning well seasoned wood or needed to maintain the catalyst. I burn mine 24/7 from late october through mid march in New Hampshire. ...Overall Performance:

We've been using the 2461(large) stove for 18 years. Use it mostly on Dec.25th,Jan, and Feb. Changed the catalytic converter. I now want to sell it because, at 75, I no longer want to get wood around. It has a square side door with a air controll and an air controll in the as door. Screens for the front door.
