#29 in Wood stovesFull review
For cabins, small homes and backup heat where space is tight. Clean and efficient, but too small to heat a whole house.

Pros
- Takes 20 in logs in a 2 cu ft firebox, so less cutting and fewer reloads
- Costs under $2,000 for an EPA 2020 certified mid size stove
- Heats with no electricity, so it keeps working in a power cut
Cons
- Burns of 6 to 8 hours mean a middle of the night reload in cold weather
- Non-catalytic, so it runs dirtier than the hybrid TN25c
- Weight and heated area are not published

A 1,200 sq ft plate steel stove with the blower included, for buyers who want circulation out of the box. The US Stove and Ashley versions of the same firebox cost less and carry a longer warranty.
