I went through the info they provide.
I've noticed that they are not tested or listed to any code/standard. Your insurance co. will demand this testing.
That should be reason enough to stay away.
I could go into there is no hopper for pellets or corn.
These fuels will lay compacted in the bottom of the stove and not burn well.
I saw no after burn or cat style operation to get the maximum btus.
Being there are no electronic controls it will be an all or nothing type of burn.
It looks to be built in a solid manner.
It's also made right here in my home state.
They say it will heat 900 s/f althought it's rated at 70,000 btus.
That could heat closer to 2000 s/f in an insulated home or cabin.
With all of those heat fins,you'd think there should be a cabinet surrounding it and a blower moving the heat through it.
It is certainly priced to sell , however if you talk to your insurance company ...I'll bet they nix your choice.
It has to be listed as safe by some testing facility like Warnock Hersey or Underwritters Labratories.
There are a lot better choices out there ie.....Woodchuck,Firechief,Charmaster,PSG and of coarse our furnace line here at Yukon.
If you looked into our line a BJ90 would be the closest in comparison.
1 thing you will find is that any furnace under 90,000 btus does not have a way to burn off smoke generating those 30-40% of the btu's available, but the BJ90 does.
