Burning Hunk
My parents have a Jotul F100 in their relatively small fireplace, fits well, works nicely for their small house.

the Squirrel is more upright and not deep
I reread his post, sorry about that op! Must have been too excited about hearth being on tap a talk!!He was referencing the little box stove they have Cody Wayne, noon EPA certified. Unlike your colonial i had one, other than being super small, she did me fine. Got me hooked to this stuff.
To the op, do some searching on the brand or model, find one that fits, then go hunting craigslist or the like.its how i got both of mine and couldn't be happier. If your looking for that shoe box style of stove dutchwest made a 207cl, few years back. My favorite little stove. Could burn wood or coal, had a cat, brass dials, fall away handle, and a reversible flue collar. Good luck finding one, been searching for Some time myself
If you have NG in the house that might not be a bad plan.
Only in the short run. Add it up and I think you'll find over time LP is way more expensive, especially with a leased tank.
They won't consider taking it away as long as you are paying them an annual fee for it and have paid for the propane.
Just another recommendation for the the 602. My neighbor has had one since I can remember. I am 31 and as far back as I can remember he's had the same stove, up until about 5 yrs ago when the door on it was a bit warped. After that he went out and bought a brand new 602, which he's been using happily since. I've spent many early mornings next to his woodstove drinking a cup of coffee with him.
On another forum and for a slightly different purpose...a foldup/camping stove was suggested. I looked at them at Cabelas and they seem pretty small but ample for my needs and again it'd only be a few times a year at the most.
Again, I'm just trying to figure out the most economic yet safe way to do this. And if the Jotul is going to be it then that's fine but if this would work that'd be even better and less expensive.
Thanks

A stove is a permanent fixture. Depending on how much and where you like to spend your money, dictates what stove is best for you. I vote no as well on any camping stove. Keep in mind this thing holds a fire that could burn down your home and endanger the occupants. If you are leaning away from the project based on cost and you will only use it sporadically, perhaps consider an oil filled heater when you have company and you'll only be out a couple bucks a year. I think the fire place will offer nice aesthetics and a heater or 2 should warm the space. A stove done right is going to cost some bucks by the time it's all said and done.
Oil or Kerosene heater...why didn't I think of that?!?! Good call!! I could pick one up, fill it and be good to go.
Thanks for that!

I mean the electric radiators with oil circulating.
I figured as much after the fact. However, that bridged the gap in my mind to kerosene. We had a pair of the oil filled ones in our old home. They sucked.
Kerosene will definitely get the job done!!

A stove is going to take at least $1,000 by the time you mess with install costs / chimney mods.
