I checked out a few stoves today. I am now considering a Lopi Liberty or a Pacific Energy summit. The summit is about a 1000 cheaper. They both seem like really well made stoves. I don't think I could go wrong with either.

Have you considered keeping your Fisher (a proven, solid heater with absolutely zero maintenance needed) and just simply adding a baffle to it as detailed and outlined in Coaly's post in the Fisher Forum? Just a thought....

I did. I have cut the top off and added a much bigger baffle. I had intentions of adding secondary burn tubes but hasn't happened yet with work and the cold weather and all. I probably will still do it as I don't plan on selling the old Fisher. I posted a thread a while back about it. I'll see if I can dig it up.
