I think I have gotten bit by the wood burning bug, and am already looking to upgrade my stove for next season. I currently have the regency FS1100, and am heating a 1200 sq ft old farm house in upstate NY. The temps here in the winter can drop to 25 below zero for weeks on end. The goal for me is to have the stove do most of the work and the oil furnace to the minimal amount of work. I am considering either a larger wood stove or keeping the current stove and adding a wood furnace.
I like the idea of a stove for the focal point of the house and the ambiance etc VS. an appliance in the basement that adds no aesthetics to the house.
I am thinking of updating to the regency S2400, I like the look of the step top model. I can't see going to the largest in this line as it is a large price jump for the minimual gain.
I am also thinking of something from Harman not sure on model there. I know that there is also a vermont casting dealer in the area as well.
I know I wan't an ash pan, and a realistic 8-12 hour burn time.
Any money that stays in my pocket and not in opec's is a plus to me.
