In all fairness to the manufacturer they're only promising one "happy thought" - and no heat as far as I can tell.

"Old Honesty" stove spotted today on Kijiji. No pics of the complete stove - only extreme close-ups.

Uh-oh. Close-ups only of the stove brings into question, ironically, the seller's honesty.

There's some new stuff with unfortunate naming too... I distinctly remember two gas BBQs named Kilimanjaro (doesn't get hot) and Vesuv (blows up in your face)!
