So I have forgone the idea to go with a older Fisher stove, and have been looking at some newer EPA models. The three that interest me are: The Jotul Black Bear, the Hearthstone Shelburne, and the Napoleon 1100C cast iron stove. The house the stove will be in will be around 1000-1200 square feet. My favorite model is the Jotul, but I have concerns...
I have read...
The jotul's fire box is too small
The Napoleon is small and doesn't burn very long
The Shelburne has issues with paint fading off...
I can't decide which is the best. I my first choice would be jotul, then napoleon, then shelburne.
What do you guys think? I want a stove that can burn for at least 6 hours if not more and be in the 1500 range, and I like the look of cast iron which all of these stoves are.
