We've had one of these for 15 years or more. It produces a lot of heat. The furnace will never kick on while the stove is burning. Has a blower but will do OK without it if the power is off. You can cook on the top too if need be. https://www.regency-fire.com/en/Products/Wood/Wood-Inserts/H2100Pellet stoves sound good and less messy but doesn't it require electricity for the auger, fan etc?

The reason I got my Fisher was because it was being replaced with a pellet stove. The following spring while hanging out at the local liars club the owner told me that he wished he hadn't sold it to me. He found out after a power outage his pellet stove was a no go. Power is needed for producing draft. Now this was before people around here got into generators so...……….

I can't get close enough to mine to determine what brand it is.

A lot of people here burn wood for winter heat. The most popular stove by far is the Pacific Energy. Mine is a Super 27 http://www.pacificenergy.net/products/wood/super/super-le/.

Blaze king and a hearth stone soap stone. The soapstone is pretty but I’d much rather have a blaze king princess model there instead.
The blaze king we do have is great. Huge fire box and burns very little wood.

If you want to burn AT LEAST 1/3 less wood, the stove you want is a Blaze King. 1/3 less wood burned for the same amount of heat 1/3 less wood hauled 1/3 less wood cut 1/3 less ash and clean up. How? It's a catalytic stove that basically uses wood like a cigarette burns tobacco. The smoke produced that would usually be lost up the chimney is ignited by the catalyst. This also leads to MUCH LESS chimney buildup. I can go outside when my stove is running and there is no smoke coming out of the chimney. I've had mine for six years at my cabin and can attest to all my claims above. The ONLY downside is if you have a spouse that just must see the dancing flames, they'll be disappointed. Yes, there's flames at startup, but once the stove gets going there is no flame - just heat and lots of it. Look over the stove reviews at hearth.com. One stove is mentioned more than any other.

I have an old Ember Hearth from the 1970's. It has a blower that I have never hooked up. Somebody at some point put long legs on it which suit the dog just fine. If the bottom ever falls out of that old relic he's gonna be in a world of hurt though. Mike

I have a Lopi 1250 in my hunting cabin (14x20 log with a half loft). It can get pretty cold and the stove will keep the place warm through the night on just a few logs.

It heats my house and a 30x50 ft pole barn with the barn having a concrete heated floor. There is a learning curve to heating with wood. It has programmable thermostats and they are able to hold 5 different programs. Not for people who get confused easily. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I went fancy and got a Vermont Castings Encore. My parents had the same one. Love heating the house with it in the winter.

You can burn at a lower temp with a cat stove. Buck I have you get it up to 500 for 30 minutes and the cat kicks in and you shut the air intake about off and the cat starts burning the smoke and the temp raises in the cat-box, not the entire stove. On a very cold night I have watched it go to 1500 degrees. Average day it burns at 1200 and then when it drops to about 400 you reload and bring it back up to operating temp.
We pray our sights be straight and our aim be true We pray for no pain to the game we pursue We thank you Lord for this land We thank you for the sights from our stands We pray for safety, one and all We pray we may return next fall

My VC has a cat and it works well. The operating temp is only about 500 degrees. It’s great for burning a clean flame (smolder really) and burns wood efficiently. Much less smoke from the chimney but you can always surpass the cat if you want to.

have had an atlanta stoveworks homesteader model, with hinged top. can cook on firebox if power goes out.
takes 24 inch wood, but wood cut at 22 inches is oh so much better.
ashpan, and thermostat. good stuff. cast-iron liners.
they use to build fisher stoves close by. always wanted a papa bear.
also thought lot's of the riteway stoves built up in virginia.
ashley stoves were also good. those were the days.
