I've had some great winters with my old Fisher Grandma Bear but I'm ready to buy an efficient stove. I've been to 3 different dealers and all 3 have told me their product is the best on the market. Not one dealer asked me specifics about my home size, seasoned wood etc. It seems as if they just want to push the stove they sell and aren't really going to give me objective advice about which stove would be best for my needs. So I've done my own research and came up with 3 stoves to choose from.
The 3 stoves that I'm choosing between are the Hearthstone Green Mountain 60, the Lopi Rockport, or the Blaze King Ashford 30. I need burn times of at least 10 hours to be able to keep the stove running all the time. I'm sick of starting 2 new fires a day with my current smoke dragon. I also hate the fact that (with my current stove) the house is either 77dF or 66dF. Too much nagging about how its too hot or too cold in the house so I'd like the new stove to be able to maintain temps in the house. Just looking to get some of your opinions on the 3 stoves I mentioned. Thanks guys!
Worth noting that unfortunately I'm behind on my wood pile so I have to use oak that is approx EDIT: 19% on a moisture meter.
