I have an englander. That is all I use for heat all winter. It will burn for 10 tp 12 hours and have coals to get it started in the morning. Check them out.

My folks used this tin/metal wood stove for heating the house for quite a few years.

Ashley Hearth High Performance Wood Stove- 60,000 BTU EPA Certified Model# AW40

Its from Northern Tool and Equipment.



Its about $850. Wood only. 21 inch logs.

Looks like my first wood stove but it was called wonder wood and was from rual king. Brought my 500 a month electric bill in the winter down to 65 in that old 800sq ft clap board house I was renting. But that was over 20 years ago and I bought the stove for 350. 50 off becuse of the large ding right on the top in the middle. (I didn't care about looks I was poor and wanted to be able to afford heat. It worked and hot me hooked on ash pans and larger and long fire boxes.
It was also much lighter to move than my cast iron stoves. But I left that one at the rent house.

Thanks for the suggestions guys/ladies. I got more help/feedback from you guys than i did in a small cabin forum i go to! Good group here!! Keep the suggestions coming i need all of the advice i can get!!

I'm looking for a coal/wood cookstove, hint hint PA guys. But that wouldn't suit your needs. I'd look on craigslist, marketplace and try to find a older one in good shape. We used to have a Brunco and we loved it. I always liked one with a flat top so you can cook on it.

If you buy a qualifying stove, Uncle Sam is giving a 30% tax break on the stove, chimney, and installation costs up to 2K for the tax year 2023. Its changed from the 2022 tax credit that gave 26% credit without being capped. Do a search on the qualifying database, most pellet and cat stoves are listed as qualifying, plus a handful of non cat stoves

I keep my 600 sqft house warm and mostly toasty with a Timberline, great stove if you can find one! A load of 6-7 chunks will last a good 10 to 12 hrs. For a hunting cabin, might consider a barrel stove kit, not a heart breaker if stolen.

Any links to where I can find this information? Thanks.

If you purchase the Ashley, a fan is available for air movement.

And you can cook on the top if you've a mind to.
