The wc has water tubes ( four I think) and the exhaust gases are forced over them,and the firebox is very nice. Then the ds has the price advantage,and those fine grates. They were two inches thick!! I doubt I'd ever have an issue with the grates on that one. It's taller though which may hurt me. I have to do some serious measurement tonight. I know the wc 40 will fit right,but the ds will cut it close. Like I said,it's a tough decision,and one I need to get right.
If you decide on the wc40............you can let us know how it actually works with coal. I'm not convinced that it will work very well at all.
