I have had a Jotul for about 10 years and love it. Takes up to 24" logs, side and front doors, no catalyst. Super efficient, very easy to control the temp in it and very easy to start because it gets a lot of air with the vent and cracking the door a bit. I live alone and work a lot of hours and it's perfect for me. Stoke it before i go to work and 12 hours later still have a nice bed of coals. I usually only have to "start" a fire about 5 times a year.

When i am home i typically burn it between 400-600 degrees with a thermometer on the stove, 200-250 on he chimney. Preston trading post of Preston CT is where i got it, good shop with lots of knowledge. There is also a shop in i believe Seabrook NH hat sells them tax free. best 1800 bucks i ever spent. I don't have a bad thing to say about it. I use to run a Vermont Castings Vigilant till i warped the doors when i over fired it, talk about scary i had the doors glowing.

Everything is better on the rocks.
