I have to replace my trailblaze - very old. It's a mobile home about a thousand square feet. One dealer recommended Quadra-fire. Another recommended Green mountain 60. I like the Drolet stoves, the Nano or the Austral. Trying to do an online search I find that some of these stoves have issues. Any comments would be appreciated. I live at 7,000 ft in Western colorado. Although we haven't been down below 10° all winter this year. Thank you!
 
What are you looking for out of the stove? What’s the most important to you?
 
Thanks for replying. Well I guess heat. It will heat my whole house. So something efficient. Something I can load up and leave alone for a while. I'd rather not pay over 3K if I don't have to. And something that will last a long time.
 
The Drolet stoves have a great reputation for performance at a low/reasonable price. I’m not sure the smaller ones will give you a long burn though. You may want to look at their medium sized units. Make sure it’s mobile home approved.
