    Welcome back FatBoy85, In your climate I would be leaning towards a cat stove. You will be able to burn low and slow and keep the wife happy. Just my two cents. Either way glad to hear from you.

    Its good to hear you found a good home to live in and a good woman to share it with. You must have an outdoor fire pit? Gotta satisfy the fire demons somehow!

    A stove with a catalytic combustor to burn the wood more efficiently. Like a blaze king or Woodstock there are other manufacturers out the these just come to mind first.

    Thank you for the info. I had no idea something like that existed. I just have a Lopi Flush mount insert and am amazed how well that thing does.
