I have not taken this out of the box yet... BUT... I can see from opening the box, and looking at the top of the wood burning stove that it is of really good quality cast iron material. I can not wait to get it on my farm land to use it! I am vey excited bout it because I've been looking for a good quality wood burning stove/cooker for over a year. I am so glad that Vevor had it for that awesome price.
