I just received the stove yesterday and did my first burn today. This is my third camp stove purchase. The first 2 were the cheap flimsy ones and they didn't last. The problem with the cheap ones is that they leak smoke because they warp, and both of mine rusted through after a season of winter camping. This stove is built like a tank! It's heavy around 60lbs. It's too big for my one man hot tent, but I mostly camp in a cabin. It draws air like a rocket stove and is impressive! It almost comes up to my waist and I'm 6 ft tall. It's about 2 ft long and over a foot wide! It's huge! Everything about it is heavy duty, even the stove pipes. The side grates are strong also. It does have a spark arrestor, and the door is heavy duty also. I was worried if it would leak smoke around the door but it doesn't. Like I said the way it draws air won't let it leak. If you need a small lightweight stove don't get this one. But if you're wanting something for a cabin, large hot tent or even your house, this is the one. This thing will last me a lifetime so I'm very happy with the purchase. I would definitely recommend!
