US Stove Company Cast Iron Wood Stove with Cool Touch Safety Handle, Heats up to 54,000 BTUs

The first stove came very chipped in the front it almost cut my hand. So I had them come and get it.The second one had missing holes so I asked for new door. They send me a new door with a hole in it like it was supposed to be so I changed my rating to 4 stars.But I still had to drill a hole myself where the door attaches.It's a nice stove. It's warm once heated. But the handle keeps falling off. The company takes care of you if you send them pictures. Other then that I'm happy with the stove. It's warm and it's really fun to warm up to on a cold day.

I haven't lit a fire in this yet (got it for this winter for the rolling blackouts in TX), but I already love it!! It's sturdy and just the right size for a mobile home. We definitely didn't want anything big that would pose a fire-risk. My husband was able to put it together quite easily. I like the fact that the door handle can be taken off and put in it's own place when not in use. It will keep children from opening the door. So far I love it!

Doesn't do anything good! Made from the cheapest of metal! Supposed to be cast iron, but more like pot metal! Castings are of the lowest "quality", core shift is obviously a major problem! Two legs on opposite ends broke off after assembly because one leg didn't even reach the floor! It sat about 2-3 inches off the floor! After disassembling and reassembling multiple times to try and get the legs level, ended up getting one leg to sit only 1-2 inches off the floor! The flue collar was cast so poorly that it will never fit into the cast in flange it is supposed to sit in. I spent three hours grinding on it to finally get it to fit. I "tried" to get a fire started in it, only to discover it won't draw worth crap! Smoke filled the room every single time I opened the door, and every time I closed the door, the fire would go out! I even had placed 4 fire bricks in the bottom as suggested by the manufacturer. The problem is it just doesn't draw enough fresh air to support combustion with the door closed, and the huge block mounted in the top that fully blocks the flue opening certainly can't be helping. This is what you get when mindless zombie bureaucrats at the EPA forcing their stupidity on people. If possible, I'm going to try to get a refund, but as I had to modify it, I doubt that will be possible. I wasted $414 dollars on this thing, and I don't understand why the price fluctuates daily on Amazon. Right after buying and before it arrived, I saw the price drop to $389, then rise to over $700 and it's currently $500! What is up with that? It would be overpriced at $100!

This is a great little stove. Not super high quality the cast iron in thin and cheap warms up quick and cools down quick and some surface rust forming right off the bat but if you're looking for an affordable option that cranks heat this is it! Charming design and easy install if you do your research. The company is a but hard to get knowledgable support from but at least they're reachable and you don't have to go through dealers like the more expensive foreign stoves.

Stove arrived undamaged, was easy to assemble. Have had it running for a few days. had some smoke the first time I used it as it burned off the factory coating. Now stove works great. Really heats the 10' x 20' work shop I have it in. Only issue is the two piece door handle is a little hard to use but not a big deal.

Still a great design after all the years, little has changed other than the design to add more efficiency. No longer made in USA but still made of sturdy and strong cast iron. Only issue is the poor locking handle design and the need to constantly tighten the screw holding the lock when it could use the old style of having several different locking positions. Overall a great stove for taking the chill out of a little or much larger area as I am currently using it to do as my larger chimney needs a new liner. Very happy with the abilities of this wood burner!

I’m in the same boat as every body else , stove seems decent but the handle is garbage , mine broke right out the box ( one small tax weld holds handle together and it broke ) the rivets also broke that hold the handle holder to the stove , called the company lady acted like she didn’t really care , I’m an American and if u gonna slap the American name on something make it count !!!! For anybody reading this I saw another guy had the same problem and ditched the handle with the coil for a set of vice grips attached to the handle on the door and it is a lil ghetto but works better then the handle the stove comes with

Haven't used it yet. What I know is there is no shipping damage, arrived timely, parts that needed to assemble were hassle free. Heavy, heavy. Eager to get up and running, however cold weather has gone. We will see and feel it's uses next winter.
