I have been using my Vermont Castings Vigilant for about 20 years, and it works fine. But I hear the newest stoves are much cleaner burning, and more efficient. How true are the claims?
Will I need significantly less wood? If it’s more efficient, I should be gettting more heat from less cords of wood? Enough to notice the difference?
Is it significantly cleaner? Can I clean the chimney less often?
If I do get a new one, any specific recommendations? I would like at least as much heating, so a fairly large stove. Catalytic or non?
Thanks.
