My husband and I are about to buy a wood stove. We are trying to stay on a budget but also want a good wood stove. We will be heating a 1200 sq. foot 2 floor place with wood heat as primary heat (trying to use it only!) We have been looking at a variety of stoves. The ones that we are trying to choose between are the: Blaze King Princess, Lopi Leyden, and Lopi Republic 1750. We have heard good things about all of them. The Blaze King is the most expensive, is it worth it? We have heard that it is great, but others say that the catalytic converters can cause lots of problems. The Leyden looks great and is a better price. Do they work good? The Republic is the cheapest but also seems like a good stove. Please give us some feedback as soon as possible! We need to get it into our new home as soon as possible! Thank you!
