Good news is that it's 5 below zero, the front door is wide open and it's still not to cold in here That's a plus.

If you buy a new wood stove do yourself a huge favor and run it in the yard before you bring it in the house, the paint and chemical fumes coming off the new stove are unbearable, had to leave the house for the first day and three days later it's still bad when the stove gets hot. I thought nobody was buying any new ones since the EPA forced some terrible design change that made them suck? I still have both of mine that are from the 70s...

I had to get a mobile home approved stove which narrowed down the options a bit. I went with this model https://www.usstove.com/product/vg3200-p/It seems to be a good stove so far, ill have 2500 into it roughly with a proper chimney etc. Guessing it will save 1000 gallons of propane this winter which is 2 dollars a gallon. More importantly if the old furnace gives up the house won't freeze up. Outdoor stove would of been ideal but I bought a house this year with cash... funds are low.

If i remember right what makes stoves mobile home aproved is they get their air to burn with from outside i think. Or thats what I was told when shopping years ago. That has a nice size fire box. 22" length is nice. That makes a big diffrence. I found i really like then with a cast grate in the bottom wher ash fall into an ash pan. I did not know how nice that was tell we lived with my inlaws for 3 months in the winter waiting for closing on our first house. They also only had wood heat but you had to dig out the ashes that was not near as nice got your hands hot, house smoked, and air born ash to dust. At that time I found out how nice indoor plumbing was also. Nothing like an outhouse in the winter.
