When considering safety and the potential of a house fire, the newer stoves are a far better choice.

The combustion air entered the firebox beneath the grates through the spring controlled thermostatic damper.

Some negative complaints about the units include a cast firebox that was prone to warping and thin sheet metal that burned out leaving holes and cracks in the unit causing poor drafting conditions.
