looking for inexpensive stove for basement!

Well this is my first year burning and we had put in a small 1.4 cu ft regency insert in our living room upstairs as that is all that would fit in our fireplace opening. It does a decent job heating the living room as long as I keep putting wood in every 4 hrs. However Im wishing I would have put in a bigger freestanding stove in our finished basement. Im trying to find a cheap stove and found out homehardware sells the stove below, just wondering if anyone has experience with that stove. How long of a burn time would I expect with the 4 cu ft firebox? In case anyone is wondering Im trying to heat a 1200 sq ft split lvl home, so the basement isnt really like a basement its just 5 steps and off to the side of the main living areas and I also spend most of my time down in the basement anyways. hopefully the below link works.

That stove comes up every year. Unfortunately, nobody here has one that I know of. I think it might be way overkill for your needs.

I'd be looking at the mid sized Drolets or Napoleons.

I love my Englander. Cute little stove and heats like gangbusters.

yea I wish I had access to those englanders havent seen them sold anywhere here. Thinking myabee Il go see how much a medium napoleon will cost. I know the medium drolet costs $1400. Il prob end up getting the cheaper of the 2. Btw these are canadian prices. Does anyone know the firebox size of the below stove?

I would consider the Century-Heating models - made in Canada.
Formerly CFM.
The larger one is comparable to the Englander 30.
The Century also boasts a large ash drawer. I honestly don't know what folks do with little to no ash drawer. It is very convenient.

I understand they actually make several other brands (Drolet and Osburn as I recall).
They are competitively priced.

Please tell me you're joking. Please.

Salmonhunter the HT2000 is 3.4 cft. I would recommend a mid sized stove also, the 2000 might be to much.

Try the little brother HT1600 http://www.drolet.ca/en/products/wood/ht1600-std-pedestal

Hey Salmonhunter

I think that stove would be way overkill....

Where do you live in NB? If you lived in southwestern NB I would recommend something much smaller...Northeastern NB would be a different story.

As BrotherBart said; Englander sell stoves under the Timber Ridge name in Canada. Canadian Tire sells them. There's the 2200 and the 1800. I would also look at the Drolet brand which is under SBI. I have an Osburn (under SBI) and they make a great product.

The sky is the limit with affordable stoves made in North America that can suit your needs!
