I am currently looking at purchasing one of three differnt used stoves. I want to buy a stove for emergency situations (like when we lose electricity for days on end) and to suppliment our furnace. I enjoy all the senses of burning wood. I realize there are probably benefits to all types of wood burners, so I will tell about the three I am looking at and pricing and possibley some good soul could tell me the pro's and con's of each? I would appreciate that very much!
#1 Pre 1940's (I think) Eagle Foundry - beautiful brown enameled finish - 45" tall - 18" deep and 27" wide . Door near the top and the bottom in the front. Beautiful condition. Extra set of handles and grates. Can't find one like it on the internet. $200.00
#2 1979 Vermont Castings Resolute Model - Black. In Good condition $450.00
#3 1982 Lopi X Fireplace Insert in excellent condition - $450.00
Room size: 16' wide x 37' long - Northern Iowa - had some - 25 ambient air temp last winter.
I can wait and put an ad on Craigslist for something newer or specific with your recommendations?
