North American pellet stoves are all so damn ugly, trying hard to look like grandma's old wood stove instead of a modern appliance. We are still eagerly awaiting the stunning retro Snowqualmie, (promised for Summer 2007 but having some production delays) and continue to wonder why stunners like these Italian jobs from MCZ are not available in North America.

It is time to start complaining; people with a modernist design sensibility are as entitled to an efficient stove as anyone else. ::MCZ via ::Trendir
