I need to purchase a wood stove before the tax rebate runs out. I have it narrowed down to the Prince Insert or a Woodstock Fireview. Which stove will put out the most heat? I need all the heat I can get.

Thanks for your assistance.
 
The fireview has max 55,000 btu The princess insert 40,000 plus btus both will heat 1600sf but the burn times are much longer on the Princess. I think both will provide you plenty of heat with the right wood. Loading a stove once a day sounds pretty nice. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Below I just pasted some info on both stoves you probably already read. Let us know what you decide.

The Princess Insert, PI1010, is Blaze King solution to wood inserts. Replace that old insert that under performs with a Princess Insert and you’ll receive great performance, superb efficiencies and phenomenal heat in your home! The secret to transferring heat into your home lies in the overall physical design, catalytic technology and an honest to goodness thermostat. Stop sending valuable Btu’s up your stack … purchase the premier wood insert, the Princess PI1010.

Thanks Cal. I own a large home and already have a fireview. I was wondering how it would compare to the Princess. I know the Princess has a larger firebox, thermostat and fan. It would also take up less space. Thanks again.
 
there both great stoves. im bias thought of course. the blaze king is just an awesome stove. it'll bring you nothig but happiness.
 
The BK holds more wood and will deliver more BTU's. You won't get the radiant heat from the Princess like you do from the Fireview since it's sitting inside the fireplace but if your looking to take up less space an insert is the way to go.
