Hi all!
Longtime lurker, first time poster here.
Looking for advice or to hear folks experience specifically with the Supreme Novo 24 or 38, and the Drolet Alto Deco, and open to other suggestions of contemporary, clean looking wood stoves.
We are finally ready to replace a very worse for the wear older Harman Oakwood that has been our primary source of heat for many years. We live in a converted gas station with a very open layout, about 1900 sqft total, with 14' ceilings. The building is pretty tightly insulated.
The priorities for the new stove are as follows:
1) Easy to operate and practical with a large firebox and simple air controls (will be our primary, daily source of heat)
2) We want it to hold coals overnight and light quickly in the morning
3) Good looking (we like a clean/modern aesthetic)
4) Good value (we don't mind paying a little more, but want a long-lasting appliance that we love)
5) Low maintenance (we like the work of bucking, splitting, stacking, burning, but want a stove that doesn't consistently need parts)
6) 6" chimney
I've looked at a lot of things and am feeling lost in the sauce. Can anybody help?
TIA!
