A small, clean burning pedestal stove for a cabin, room or small house, with a tested 74% HHV efficiency. The short 5 hour maximum burn means more reloads overnight.
Englander $1,099Under $2,000 covers a wide spread of small and mid-size EPA certified stoves, including steel wood stoves, some cast-iron models and a number of pellet stoves. Higher-priced stoves in this range tend to heat larger areas with longer burns and cleaner emissions.
Check the heating area rating against your home, since an oversized stove forces you to burn low and smoky. Compare emissions and efficiency figures, the burn time per load, and the clearances the manual requires. Budget separately for a chimney or vent kit, hearth protection and installation, because these can add a substantial cost to a lower-priced stove.
