Or, if you are quick, you could buy it for less...

If you plan to use it you do not want any European coal stove. They are designed to burn lignite or peat and are not good with fuels found here in the US. The grates are too close to the ash pan and reflected heat from anthracite will kill them. Also, The grates lack a draw center or good shaking ability to clear the ash.

I cannot totally agree with the ash pan claim. I ran a Buderus Juno for 27 years, sold it recently because this old coal burner really wanted the ease of a stoker. Yes the ash pans are not deep, but 2 trips a day solve that issue in the dead of winter. My grate was a shaker vs. a rocker but once again a little effort was able to help when the coal ash content was a little excessive. I am pleased to say the Keystoker 90 with Coal-trol is a breeze to run. I am not keen on the fact the window get trashed within a year, but the convenience outweights the down side of seeing a clean glass fire burning. The Buderus oil fired Cadillac was never turned on last year, thanks to the Keystoker. I just wished I bought the Keystoker sooner than thinking oil was not so bad :x :x I thought the coal stove would be used more in the dead of winter with the Buderus handling the shoulder months. The Keystoker does it all now.

Is it an original or a "nice asiatic" reproduction like they are able to do with all you can imagine? There, they don't care about patent or licences!
