I'm looking to replace my century stove. The baffle at the top is warped again(2nd time) and it seems like a good time to replace the whole unit. I burn 24/7 all winter, though we are away for work during the day. So I'm looking for the cleanest long burns I can find. From what I've read here a cat stove is my best option. The woodstock fireview and blazeking princess sound like good fits. I'm wondering about the soapstone over the long haul. How are they sealed and do I need to rebuild it every so many years. My stove is in the basement of an 1100 sq. ft. ranch, so I'm heating 2200 sq.ft. I circulate the heat with my gas furnace duct work with an extra blower and intake next to the stove. Any advise will be appreciated.
