    I would buy a Princess or a Sirocco 30, whichever is cheaper. I need low burn capability.

    Right where I want to be.
    Yeah, BK S-30 or Ashford.
    I'd take a Princess if the price was right.

    I'd like to take a PE Summit or T-6 out for a spin. I think either one would be a good stove for my basement and probably be able to heat my whole 2200 sq ft without much help from my Keystone. Also like the Osburn 2300 with its s/s baffle and bypass.

    If I was to stick to Woodstock I'd be looking for a Classic or the new Ideal Steel.

    The Keystone is staying put for the time being, maybe see what the new BK Ashford 20 is like a few years down the road.

    Glass isn't a big priority for my basement and I just like the looks of the Classic with all that soapstone. I'd stick a thermocouple in her and wouldn't need to look at the fire to know what's going on.

    PE T6
    A huge masonry heater would be nice to try.
    All Woodstock stoves
    Hearthstone Equinox
    Jotul F55

    I'd Also like to try heating with a non-challenged floor plan.

    I already have a King, would like to try the Regency 5100. Actually, anything over 4 cf and an 8" flue I'd like to try for comparisons sake.
    If the stars align , hope to try the new I.S. for years to come.

    DexterDay, I'd actually run both- the 5100 and the Ideal steel . They'd be on different levels of the house, but at times, yup- both would be cranking!

    If you lived closer we could just do a wood stove swap for a couple of months and I could give the princess a whirl:rofl: :lol: :D

    Right where I want to be.
    Ok wait, so we can choose more?
    Pretty much anything close to 2 cu.ft. and up.
    As long as someone else did the work on most of 'em.

    I've said before a wood stove swap program between members would be awesome. I'd like to drive a bunch of the available stoves. If we could only figure out transportation and installation problems, I know I don't have the back to move a bunch of stoves. :rofl: :lol:

    Lol I hear you on the back! We could always get Browningbar to move the stoves for us as he seems to have lots of experience swapping stoves.......:D

    Though I love our Englender 30, I would really like a BK King or one of those soapstone stoves the Denis loves so much.
