We had this installed in 2003 and I’m cannot wait to get rid of this thing. It’s no wonder they stopped making it from what I understand. We rarely ever got a all night burn 7-8 hrs on low and would barely keep a family room warm. The o my way this thing can heat properly is if you have it burning high and the o my way to keep the glass air wash working properly is to burn on high. If ...Overall Performance:

Great wood stove. I've had it for over 10 years, and I heat my house with it all winter. My wife and I get home around 6 pm and I can build a fire we can start cooking dinner on in about an hour. It's usually still 75 when we get up in the morning for work. If you can't make this stove heat up, don't blame the stove; learn how to build a fire. And season your firewood. I use mostly oak and ...Overall Performance:

What I love about this stove is that it has a large capacity. You can actually have big pieces of wood into it. It can heat up the room in a matter of minutes if you assist it constantly. But if you just leave it and allow it to burn the woods on its own, it would take hours to really heat up.Overall Performance:

Have had for thirteen years and have had multiple problems with smoke, the blower -- which broke within the year-- and not enough heat given. The fire box is too little. I would never advise buying this stove. A waste of moneyOverall Performance:

This stove is crap. I barely heats the room it is in to 65 degrees. Yes it will burn for 12 hours and keep the room, not the house at a consistent 59 degrees. I would never consider buying one of these again. The $330 plastic fan is a joke on a wood stove as well, it melted the fan.Overall Performance:

Our stove came with our house which we bought 13 years ago. Since then it has been our primary heat source. We burn about 3 cord of Vermont northern hardwoods (red maple, sugar maple, white ash, beech, red oak, yellow birch; some poplar and paper birch fall and spring), always dried for at least a year. Dried means stacked under cover with good air drainage. I cut most of the wood about 18" to ...Overall Performance:

We bought our avalon stove in Aug of 2015 and we have NOT been happy with it, we can not get any longer then 3hr of burn time. We burn oak and it does not get higher then 68 in house, we do have 2500 sq foot house and we can not heat the room the stove is in. Our old stove would run us out of living room but had no way to control the heat. New stove uses alot more wood than old stove.Overall Performance:

We have an approx. 2000 sq. foot home. Does not heat our home like the Fisher did. It is much more efficient burn wise-fire much better controlled, when shut down completely will last 10-12 hours at times. Wood does not fit well, I would definitely choose a side loader next time, baffles get in the way. Quality made I believe. Just doesn't heat the house like the old one & loading is difficult. I ...Overall Performance:

Burn time is often about wood, not the stove. If you're only getting 2 hours burn time, are you using soft wood, like willow, eastern pine varieties, cottonwood? Those burn quickly. Get some hardwood and use the soft for kindling or in warmer months. Seasoning wood, cut to length, split and stacked for air flow for a year for soft woods, and 2-3 yrs for hardwood, matters, too. If you season it ...Overall Performance:

I purchased a ten year old Avalon Olympic two years ago. The stove had been poorly maintained with missing and damaged secondary combustion tubes, broken firebricks, a damaged door gasket and scratches on the exterior. My local Avalon dealer supplied me with the replacement parts and paint as well as a leg kit, and it's been purring along ever since. Holds a fire for 10-12 hours (coals in ...Overall Performance:

We cant use that much, very disappointed. The smoke rolls out when reloading, no way to smother the stove down, down drafts on windy days ( when I need the stove) prevent opening the door. Maybe a bad install. Wish we could use it to, my electric heat pump is expensive. The family room with stove is only 12 x 20. Wish I had a free standing, this insert sucks heat up the chimney and smokes up the ...Overall Performance:

Had this since 2002 and couldn't be happier. This stove burns 24/7 for three weeks and then needs to be emptied of ash. Even wet fresh wood still burns but when fed quality Oak it really shine.

We have had this stove for 13 years. It is amazing! We use this to heat our 1500 sq ft. home with 14 foot ceilings and have no issues doing so. When running this stove, we do not need our furnace at all. It heats all the way to the back bedrooms and we don't even need the blower to do so. It is easy to start fires using a little paper, kindling and a few good pieces of hard wood. I can get ...Overall Performance:

Just read some negative reviews and I'm baffled. I purchased my home and it came with an Avalon Olympic. Whoever says it can only burn for 2 hours is nuts. I heat my 1600sf home with about 12-17 logs per day. If I fill it up I get up to 10 hours. Never run my heat just use the stove. Learn how to use it peopleOverall Performance:
