would not recommend this to anyone!

I bought this stove not realising, that you had to use a silly little allen key on a handle to operate it (whilst kneeling down on the floor). Real shame, the quality looks good and I have used the predessesor extensively with no problems at all, so I was very surprised to see, that the controls were so awkward. Two days after purchasing the stove new I sold it cheap to someone else. I was used to quality controls and could not handle that. Also the efficience is pretty low at 73%. I've now got a Jotul F400 with an efficiency of 84% (that is efficient)Would not recommend this to anyone.
