I just started looking at these and I was going to build one but then I found this stovetec model on sale for 80 dollars and it includes a pot skirt "skirt that attaches to your pot to force the heat up and around the sides of your pot to boil water, cook stews etc faster" all the other reputable companies that sell them charge an extra 10-20 dollars for that piece, so I ended up ordering it and did a video testing it out.



Overall I was very impressed, its not perfect but for 80 bucks I think it's a great option especially if your not handy at all. I still plan to build one with a few different features or modify this one a little to meet my needs better or do both. They do make another model that has 2 doors I did not like that one because the ceramic in the bottom area on the sides is exposed so if it cracks/breaks the stove could disintegrate inside, where as this one has metal all the way down the inside sides so even if the ceramic breaks it has no where to go and should still work just fine.

I also did an unboxing video just to show what it came with.

 
The glass is neither half full or half empty. It is too big. But this tiny ad is just right:
