Anyone who follows these threads knows I was one of the first to express my opinions of these stoves. However, have you read about the CB's rusting and leaking ?.. they are in some instances as well as other OWB's. Lets face it, the oil companies/speculators cut their own throat ( amazing why we don't hear hear the real reason wer'e in a recession, read that big oil ) and a lot of companies like Shaver were trying to fill a demand. As a result quality suffered. Out of the box a Shaver is a Ford or Chevy. We are trying to make Cadillacs out of them and in some instances making problems where they may not exist otherwise. Trial and error is being rewarded by many who followed the first thread. There are those who may feel they indeed now have a Cadillac for far less money. In fact some ideas were for the benefit of most all OWB owners..
Now.. Delivery dates were the biggest problem last year. We all know what areas need improvement, however if there are true lies on the website, kindly explain what they are. As an owner of a Shaver I'd like to know what they are. Other than an illustration of insulation under the firebox, I can't see any. And that may have been unintentional since it wouldnt have changed my mind any, I just would have insulated it myself had I known it before it was lowered.
I think these group of owners aren't afraid to admit shortcomings w/ a purchase. How many expensive vehicles do you see on the side of the road with the hood up ? I see quite a few especially if you factor in the ratio of expensive vs inexpensive vehicles.
