The Pleasant Hearth is a great all arounder, and is the perfect wood stove for first time and experienced buyers. It radiates heat to its advertised areas effectively (2,200 feet at the greatest). It is sturdily constructed, and lined with brick along the inside. There is a built in ash drawer for easier cleanup. The ceramic window in the door allows for easy fire viewing. The only downside is the heat production is more like 3-5 hours vs the 8-10 advertised. https://tinyurl.com/yhw47z8c
