I am new to this forum and enjoying it very much, but did not see a specific answer to my question.
I am quite familiar with wood heat but only with the old style stoves. We are considering a wood insert and with so many options and price ranges, I was wondering what the negatives would be in buying a used stove non-epa which cost a lot less, or just straight out buying a new (or newer) efficient stove.

Our house is an old 2200 sq. ft. farm house not insulated that well.
Would an old steel stove work just fine at a fraction of the price, or am I better off spending more money up front?
Also are their cautions to buying a used stove.
Thanks
