Trying to pick a wood stove

[arey23]

Hi everyone! We're building a weekend home in the Catskills. In the corner of our main living room/dining room/kitchen we want to add a wood burning stove. It would not be the primary heat source. We lean toward modern, European style designs, and these are our finalists:

Moreso 6148 on pedestal

Jotul F 370 - not sure if this is still available

Hase Bari

Rais Viva

Rais Viva L-100

Rais Q-Tee C with base

Stuv-30

Unfortunately, I suspect all these choices (except for the Moreso) are very expensive. We're currently leaning hard toward the Hase Bari, but the store suggested a fairly high price for piping and installation.

Any recommendations / words of advice? Thanks!

Hello! Most of those brands were on our list in the hunt for a more modern stove. We ended up with a Nova from MF Fire, which come in much lower than most of those brands. We love ours! Here is a picture I posted on here before. We have the regular Nova, but they also have a larger version and stoves on top of wood storage bases which look pretty cool.
