Hi there. Just registered and looking for some input. I just bought a ranch style home and it has an old wood stove. I've never had one and know nothing about them. The house is 1080sq. I keep thinking I'd like to replace the old stove with a newer, efficient one. I have multiple friends say do not bother, get gas. I'm just bent on wood. It will not be my primary heat source. I'm thinking mote on weekends and super cold days. That said, do I buy used or new? There's a Lopi dealer in town and they recomended the Answer or Evergreen. I know I don't want to babysit a stove all day. I like the idea of longer burn times, and the option to have it go all night. That said, I also don't want to bake myself out of my living room, and have cold pockets in other rooms. I know.. im pretty demanding!
Oh.... then there's cost! The Answer is 2400, Evergreen 3200. That's not including tax or installation. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
