inexpensive stoves

[BrowningBAR]

I think Kingquad nailed the good and less expensive models pretty well . . . if going new Englander is pretty popular and well liked here.

If going used, choose carefully. This can be a tough time of year to go shopping for used stoves vs. waiting until Spring . . . but some possible deals are out there.

Ran into this ad up here in Maine . . . hard to say the actual condition without inspecting the stove in person . . . but to my untrained eye this appears to be a Woodstock Fireview for only $350 (although it requires another $300 or so in parts -- not sure which parts though . . . ad never mentions it.)

Speaking of the older model Fireviews; anyone care to chime in on how well they operated in regards to efficiency and burn times? I will occasionally see the older models for sale and I have always wondered what the difference was.
