Greetings! I'm tossing the old schrader Woodstove out and searching for a replacement. I am considering a Jotul F118 CB Black Bear, the revamped version of the old standby 118 of long ago. After searching thru many reviews I see that there were issues with the secondary air system baffle warping or cracking, and not because of over firing or excessive heat. Faulty retaining pins for the baffle and just poor design seemed to be at fault, however, these reviews are all several years old and I'm curious if Jotul redesigned or modified these stoves in recent years to remedy this problem with the baffle? It's a sharp looking stove, I'd sure like to hear from anybody familiar with these newer 118's. Thanks very much, and stay warm.Dow
