Does DS Machine make a stove that by design burns wood? Wood and bituminous coal burn with air supplied from above. Anthracite coal burns with air supplied from below. All of the DS Machine stoves I have seen were designed to burn anthracite.traditions wrote:Does any one in Maine have a stove made by D S Machine ?I am looking into buying one,but I will burn wood.If you have one where did you buy it and how do you like it/ Thanks

They have a couple new stoves that geared more toward wood from what I understand.They are the MAX 110 and 160.They have secondary burn and are supposed to be clean ,claiming around 86 % efficent.If I buy one of these it would be sight unseen,and was wondering if any one had any info.I need a basement stove and these seem to be well built.

I think they make a good stove but are certainly geared more toward anthracite. It's always been my experiance that most "dual fuelers" work well but are not great at either when as a stove like a Woodstock Soapstone Fireview or the new model, can't think of the name, that have secondary burn cats are much better wood burners. They have a sale going on too right now and offer a tax break too. I have no dog in the fight just passing on the info.
