So what is the price range on this?

Their web site is listed under the Where to Buy tab. Lookes like $5295 for the 100... Doesnt look like they are EPA rated stoves though, maybe I missed it but all I see is they are:

• 
  "Tested by PFS Laboratory and Intertek for Emissions and Safety

• 
  Approved to UL #391 by PFS Corporation"

Just from breifly reading your site it sounded like this was a gasification stove, is that correct? I assume you are the owner/manufacture?

'Product Review' - right up front in title, in a big red block.

Your kind of missing my point and dont fully understand how this part of the forum works. The creator of the "review" did not provide a review he simply loaded the general information about the product into the review forum so that reviews can be made against it.

 

[NSMaple1]

Oh, I see.

Maybe the red lettering should be something like 'Review This Product' ? Had me a bit confused anyway...

Yes, it can be confusing but its all good.

Looks like a nice stove but I'm dont have forced air system...

 

[NSMaple1]

I can't give a review, but from all the researching I did leading up to my boiler buy 3 years ago, and all the reading I have done since, I would have to say this is quite possibly the best wood burning hot air furnace on the market today.

Owners son/IT guy. Darrel the owner is older and not really internet savey. His passion for wood heat is unmatched though.

It's a gasification wood furnace and yes. Stihly's statement is accurate.

So it's not a review per se,

it's an advertisement for a product from a site sponsor.

In a sense it is however, the general process for making a review is like this; someone clicks the button to make a review and when it opens you have to give general information on the product first, load a picture and make a review comment. Now its established as a product up for review by the public which they can make comments on or use the 1-5 star rating to submit a review. In this case the creator only uploaded the general information about the product and never made any comment. Therefore the person did not review the product, just simply loaded it in to be available for review/discussion.
