Unfortunately, it would not start if the temperature outside is below -6. Always have to use a small heater to warm up the pipe first in order to start. Also we have been using it for a while in hopes that the smell would disappear. Sometimes when you buy new things, paints and such smell for a little while. This stove tho continues to smell even after a month. Occasionally the smell is so bad that we have to turn off the oven or it sets off fire alarm Finally, only after a month the glass screen is completely black from the inside so we could barely see the fire now. Very disappointing experience
