Hopefully this hasnt been beat to death here but I tried the search and didnt find much.
Anyhow, I have an Alaska Kodiak stove from who knows when. It is in my basement and I use it to heat my small ranch house. It does an ok job. However, it is too much work to cut firewood to not use an efficient stove. So, my question, is there a noticable difference in the amount of heat and efficiency in the newer stoves? For example, I was looking at a Napolean 1400. Would this be a major upgrade or a waste of money?
