The stove is very good. Now, if it draws smoke correctly, it is a matter of proper pipe installation. Does it burn a lot of wood? Does the type of wood matter? Green? Dry? Pine? Olive? Each type of wood burns differently. It is adjustable and you can estimate the amount of air that will pass through. If it is fully open, it burns a lot but has tremendous efficiency. When you use the air heater, the heat spreads to the other rooms very well. The door is very good, it closes tightly so you don't have to worry about charcoal falling down. Disadvantage: the air heater is perfect and adjustable but it makes noise. I think it's normal, it's not the motor but the air itself, like a fan. And the second disadvantage: if you close the air to save wood, the glass gets blackened. But wood stoves and cleaning go hand in hand. If I were to buy a stove again, I would choose the same one
