My parents are shopping for a wood stove to heat a 2100sf ranch style home. The requirements that I know are:
1. must be attractive to look at - Mom has style.
2. Easy to use, they are in their sixties.
3. Efficient - looking for good wood use profile
4. Reliable, well made - Dad is a perfectionist
I am not saying money is no object, but they are willing to spend to get the right stove. The stove will go in a large central room that includes the living room and an open kitchen - the bedrooms all come off this one main room.
We live in Central Virginia so a local dealer will be a plus I think.
I am thoroughly comfortable with my understanding of OWBs, but know next to nothing about stoves.
What do you guys recommend?
