It's gonna depend, if you are in Florida fine, if in minnesota then you have problems?
Some corn stoves need to shut down, cool off, & be cleaned every 3-7 days - that would _not_ work for me here in MN as the sole heat source when it's minus 20 F.
Ecconomicly, a real wood stove & you cut your own wood really saves money - trade labor for heat. Buying pellets is not all that cheap any more. Corn stove would be great for me because I raise corn, you would need to but it & folks seem to want to mark it up a lot for those of you who need to buy it in 56# bags.....
How is the house set up for chimneys, can you vent the propane out the side & use the chimney for the wood/pellet/corn stove? Having both would be ideal. But again, I die (or lose $1000's of dollars of plumbing at the least) without heat in my climate, so this is a valubale, important deal. Don't know what your climate is, might just be a convienience for you....
