    have had the Encore in our house for 8 years. While the stove puts out a great deal of heat, overburn and parts replacement has been a nightmare. I've spent over $300 EVERY season to keep the stove burning properly. Either poor materials or poor design...I would not suggest this stove to anyone. Wish I had my money back for a new stove!@!1

    I've had my Encore for almost 9 yrs and have had fantastic service out of it. I had it hearth mounted in my first home and moved it into a custom alcove that I built into my new home several years later. The only maint. it has needed is replacement gaskets due to normal wear and tear and an occasional repainting. Next season I will need to replace the catelytic combustor (normal maint.).

    Now, this stove is "older" and I've heard that the manufacture of these units has been moved and that quality has suffered somewhat (but have no PERSONAL experience other than the unit I have).
