[rags57078]

I am looking at getting a woodstove but don't know what is the better ones . I will be heating a house of aprox 800 sq ft . I bought a real nice one at an auction but it is too big.
Thanks for all input

Blaze King makes a smaller version they call the Princess. Best stoves on the market in my opinion.

I have the Blaze King Princess Fireplace insert version. It is a FANTASTIC stove. I have no doubt that the normal princess would be just as great. The good thing about the stove is that it uses a catalyst burner instead of a secondary ignition system.

Essentially that means that you can burn to the same efficiency, but at much lower temperatures (~550F isntead of 800-1000F). Because of this, you are able to dial the stove down much further, making the same load of wood last almost twice as long.

The princess may be a bit big for 800 sq feet... but the good thing about big stoves is that you can always build small fires in them. But you can never put a bigger fire in a small stove.

I would also reccomend you read up at www.hearth.com It is a great resource/forum for all things related to wood burning, they also have a nice review section for any stove you might be considering.

Good luck!
