Funny you should say that!! Mine is shocking at the moment....I really need a new one. If you open the door it loses all it's heat and then takes eons to heat up again. I've really GOT to get a new one by Christmas, we've got up to twenty-five people here for dinner and there is no way I'd get it cooked in time, the way it is. The other day I put on a roast and it never got up to temperature the whole time
I actually have a woodstove as well .....and that one does heat, but of course I have to rub sticks together to get it going
