For a high-quality wood stove that will heat a medium-size house and comes at a reasonable price, your best bet may be the Englander 1,800 sq. ft. Wood-Burning Stove. This freestanding stove measures in at 26” x 28.5” x 24” deep, and it can hold logs up to 18” long. This steel wood stove has an EPA-certified design that includes a 6” top exhaust vent that filters impurities to outside your home. I've been using this for couple of months.
