I'm getting ahead of the game but we will be needing a wood stove for a cabin we plan on starting to build next summer/fall, the cabin will be just under 400 sq. ft. which we plan on insulating.

Not looking for anything real expensive but epa approved, the pipe will be the most expensive part, so what brand stoves are out there.

When it comes to cheap, but good, that kind of screams "Englander".
 
Yep, the 17VL would be one worth checking out. Will there be any other type of heat in the space besides human (& dog) warmth?
 
I'll ask the boss! :red:

Jotul 602CB is also relatively inexpensive and would seem properly sized for a 400sf space.
 
Hmmmm boxwood stove in a cabin....makes me drool.

Im just a fan of the look and loading etc of a boxwood. However thats also their curse. Typically small and always having to chuck wood in them. Im really trying to find one with a cat in it. Backwoods said woodstock was looking into one, i hope the pull it off. Blazeking makes that chinok thing, not a boxwood design more like the 17vl. Dutchwest made the 207cl and 209cl, boxwoods with a cat, and could burn coal. But if you find a stash of them, youll just have to let me know.
 
The PE True North is also a low cost stove.
 
Zap, you know before the stove comes the wood. Time to get some stacked up there. :)
 
Zap,
I don't know anything about the Vogelzang Durango, except I just think if I had a cabin in the woods, this is the stove I would want. I think it just looks perfect for a cabin. It is not expensive either. Anyway just a though.
Edit: Northerntool has it for 699.00
 
We had the same problem last year. Our choice was the Jotul Nordic. Nice little stove, great view of the fire.

Thanks for the quick responses, looks like I'll get my ass in gear and cut some more wood to sell next year so it will cover the cost of the stove. I'll take a good look at the stoves this week and narrow it down.

tfdchief, I just took a quick look at the video and it looks good, even looks like we could cook on it.

I'll have lots of time since we plan on starting this next summer/fall, the stove might come the year after. I'm just waiting for the rest of the ferns to die off then we will start clearing some downed wood and some old stumps.

Zap,
There was a recent thread on this stove but I can't seem to find it and can't remember the title. I will keep looking. Steve
