Just an update, I went with the Jotul f45, and I'm glad I did. We had a somewhat mild winter for alaska and I know now the f55 would have been overkill. The f45 looks plenty grand in the living room. Beautiful viewing glass, and overall a great stove. Easy to control, super long burns, from nov1- april1 went through about 3.5 cords white birch as my primary heat source. Couldn't be happier. Was shocked to see them discontinue this model though, hopefully a f45 v3 non-cat is coming out. Highly recommend.
Best non-cat stove?

Also, just as a side note, I received as a house warming gift a Stirling engine stove fan from the company in Britain called "Warp5". Its inner workings are display under a glass top, and if you're in the mood to treat yourselves, it's probably the coolest thing I've ever owned in my life. The price is quite high, but it is truly a special addition to my home. Would make a great gift for a very special occasion.

I checked out their fans,they are definitely cool but as you had said very expensive and having one shipped to Canada who knows what you are going to get hammered for taxes and duties and whatever else.
Yeah, it's definitely one of those purchases that is questionable on the price. I wouldn't have bought one if it wasn't gifted. A regular stove fan works just fine, but I will say I get about twice the airflow from the warp5.
