The Best Wood Stove UL Approved

[Frankdozer]

My daughter wants to install a wood stove in her house in Maine. Needs to heat about 1500 square feet. 2 story house, 750 square feet per floor. She has an endless supply of oak and birch. The flue in the chimney is 6” round. Will need to be inspected by the fire department per the insurance company so has to be UL approved.
What’s your opinions as to the best wood stove out there for her needs?
Thanks,
Frank

There is no such thing as best stove, only the best stove for one's particular needs and budget.

How well insulated is the home? How tall are the ceilings. Where is the stove located? Is the floor plan open or are the rooms closed off with doorways?

Lots of stoves will work. Does she have a budget? A particular aesthetic look? Does she only want to burn it part time or full time?

We have an awesome wood stove from MF Fire - Nova. Check out my thread on it from the past. It is likely a perfect sized stove for your daughter's space. Main benefits: super simple, beautiful flames through our glass which almost never gets dirty, overnight coals. Let me know if you have any questions bout it

MF Fire Nova - anyone else have one?

Hey there. Anyone else have an MF Fire Nova stove? I see lots of discussion about Jotul, Blaze King, etc on here. We got the Nova mid Fall, moved it up to our lake house, and have been pleased thus far. Anyway, several of the tips on here have been very helpful so thanks guys.
