Was wondering if anyone can advise me on this stove. Considering purchase of a new one for this winter. Only a few reviews online but a few people noted that they get puffs of smoke coming from top of the stove during combustion. Is Napoleon considered quality? I don't have experience with wood stoves and looking for any help possible. Thanks to all.

Welcome. This is a decent stove, not high end but not bottom either. The reports of backpuffing are possibly due to inadequate chimney height. Napoleons like a good strong draft. The issue could also be due to operator error of shutting down the stove too quickly while burning poorly seasoned wood. In comparison take a look at the Enviro Boston line, Quad Explorer II, Pacific Energy Alderlea T5, Jotul F45.

Feeling the Heat
We have a 1400P. I believe it's very close to the unit you're looking at (same design) but a little smaller. We have been vary happy with it. It's installed with a 25' insulated liner and haven't had a smoke issues.
It's heats our 2500 sqft with 8' ceilings surprisingly well.
They key, as with any modern woodstove, is dry wood.
