Anyone Have This Stove?
I'm looking at getting a ds energy max 160. I'll be burning coal primarily and I'd like to try bituminous coal in it if it works well. I was wondering if anyone had one of these stove and how well they work.

It is a relatively new stove, and it is way more stove than most people need, so the combination of these factors greatly reduce the chance that you will get a direct reply. That said, DS makes excellent products. I own their ComfortMax, which came out at about the same time, and which I can attest is both well made, and a very good stove.Bungiex88 wrote:I'm looking at getting a ds energy max 160.

Lots of hand fed (fired) stoves have internal hoppers which are exclusively for burning anthracite.Bungiex88 wrote:No hand fired
