advice for a newbie- new wood stove

What about the blaze king boxer or the chinook?

I suspect not airy enough as compared to the thin legged ones he preferred above.

The boxer looks nicer than the chinook to my eyes. They seem to be well-liked, but I’m not thrilled with how they look. Since it’s for back up heating, I’m giving more weight to looks (subjective) than pure function.

As the owner of a MF Fire Nova 2 I would suggest a different stove. It serves its purpose but I think their are better option out there.

I would steer towards a burner from a reputable company that has a history of building stoves that people in this forum generally like. Personally I plan to buy a blaze king as soon as I can get someone to buy my current stove.
