We're in central Texas and use woodstoves to keep small greenhouses from freezing. Mostly we burn seasoned "paper mulberry" wood from our own place. We currently use a Morso 1B made during the mid 1970's. I think it's an "airtight" stove, but isn't near as efficient as new models. I load it maybe every 3 hours during the night. Just to get an idea, how would this stove compare in efficiency with one of the old box-style stoves that pre-date the airtights?
Efficiency of true antique stoves.

They are basic, simple stoves, not that clean burning, but reliable as long as well maintained. Similar stoves of this generation were made by Jotul, Lange, etc.
