No fuel is wasted as the heat must all pass down the back flue to the base and then entirely across the bottom returning up the rear flue to smoke pipe.

The large bottom door allows you a larger opening when loading burning wood. Both doors can be opened jointly for large or awkward pieces of wood. The smaller top door serves another purpose too. When loading the stove, it holds the smoke inside of the stove preventing it from escaping into the air.
