This company isn't in NJ but they carry a lot of brands. You can google the brands to find a local dealer. We looked into the these types of cook stoves but the ones I liked were were about $5,000 a lot more than "regular" woodstoves. Good luck!

That's a big area in a colder climate. There are several cook stoves that could do this, but for that sized space I would get a heater first and a cook stove second. That said, he should look at the Esse Ironheart.
http://woodstoves.net/esse/woodcooker.htm as a good modern compact cook stove. For overall heating, have him take a look at the Pacific Energy Alderlea T6. With its movable trivet design it offers some good cooking options in a good heating wood stove. http://www.pacificenergy.net/alderlea/t6.php
 
Jotul and Harman both make a top loading stove that can take a grill insert. They aren't proper bake ovens of course, but something a little different than your standard cook top stove.
 
Yeah, these dedicated cookstoves are all pretty steep. The grill inserts and cooktops are the more affordable option. Of course I'd drop seven G in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
