So after only a few weeks running an older stove, I may have a very good opportunity at a newer EPA stove. The model is not known yet, only that the original cost was around 4k. It is a Hearthstone make. Assuming that I can burn the 24 inch logs, of which there is around 20 cords now, and assuming it will be large enough to heat the house as well as the Defiant, and lastly, assuming I can get it for about 1200, should I??? I would like to be a responsible enviro person, but I also think the Defiant is pretty clean burning. Would the benefits of reduced wood consumption be great enough to make the switch? What say you?
