We have had this stove 2003. It is beautiful and works great . We have had to replace the Refractory twice and the catalytic combustor once.

Have owned this stove since 1998. Just awesome heater. Have to replace the combuster every 5 years or so, along with door gasket. Had to replace rear plate in the back after 17 years. Would not purchase any other stove. Fantastic piece of equipment.

I HAVE OWNED THIS STOVE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY OTHER PREVIOUS STOVES JUST COULD NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. THIS DUTCHWEST STOVE OUT-PERFORMS ALL OTHER STOVES I'VE EVER HAD. I USUALLY GET 12-24 HOUR BURNS IN COLDEST PART OF WINTER. I CAN CLOSE UP THIS STOVE TIGHT ENOUGH THAT I CAN COMPLETELY PUT THE FIRE OUT! I BOUGHT THE LARGEST OF THIS STYLE STOVE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY RATED TO HEAT MUCH MORE AREA THAN I HAVE, BUT I DID THAT SO I COULD LOAD THE FIRE BOX FULL AND NOT HAVE TO KEEP FILLING IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I HAVE ONLY 1 COMPLAINT ABOUT THE STOVE AND THAT IS THE CERAMIC HANDLES ARE TOO BRITTLE AND DON'T LAST LONG. I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BY CUTTING 3/8" BLACK WATER PIPE PIECES AND REPLACED THE CERAMIC WHEN THEY BROKE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DUTCHWEST STOVE TO ANYONE. I WOULD NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING ELSE. I'VE TRIED THE REST, NOW I'VE GOT THE BEST! I'D BUY THIS STOVE EVEN IF IT COST $3000.
