So my parent's neighbor who grew up with wood heat wants a stove again. Being a proponent of wood heat and having a little more knowledge regarding the current stove market, requirements and heating practices, I told him that I'd help him along. This is where I turn to you guys. He wants a free-standing, cast stove (open to both cats & non-cats) with legs that will heat his 1,200 sq. ft. well insulated cabin style home. He would also like a blower on the unit.
The majority of my research was limited to inserts as that is what I have. I'm pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to stoves. Please offer your opinions and insights as to what stove you think would make him happy.
