Englander or the Dutchwest. The Morso seems a bit too costly for a shop stove.

much difference on performance between the three? not so worried about maximum heat output since all of them are rated well above my space. but burn times?
how about durability as it relates to steel warpage or cast iron cracking - which i guess are issues only with overheating??

many thanks.

Englander for sure. Cheaper to buy and a welded steel plate box is the most durable design. Hokey pokey VC products deserve nothing.

Englander . . . when you just need the heat and not a fancy stove.

Englander!

VC - blech

Morso - Cha-ching.
