I have lived with them too, and if you can keep them turned up to where they don't generate soot, the heat will boil you out of the cabin. I have two, one on each of my boats and they are the cat's pajamas, when they are working right, it is just hard to do sometimes. I haven't had the stink problem. Mind you the one stove was built in 1961, and the other in 1977. You do need to keep an eye on them and they can be fickle.
