Today I went to my local wood stove dealer to take a look at the stoves they had on hand. I spoke to the salesman for a while and they were advising their number one stove they sell is the Lopi Liberty. They quoted me a price of $2600.00 for stove and another $200.00 for the blower. I have read several reviews on this stove and they appear to be good stoves, however I originally have been looking at the Drolet HT2000 through Northern Tool. Their price for the HT2000 is around $1200.00. Can anyone tell me the difference that would explain the cost being so different?? The HT2000 has a 3.4 cubic feet firebox and has a max. of 95,000 btu's and appears to be built like a tank. I have also looked at the PE Summit as well as the Quadafire 5700and both of them appear to be excellent stoves as well but are going to run me around $2,500-3,000. Are these stoves that more efficent or having longer burn times because its hard to justify spending $1,500.00 more for a stove when they all have similar in specs. Any input would be much appreciated.
