In general a LARGE woodstove is better than a small woodstove.
And a large being say 4 times the space inside to place wood to burn than a small woodstove.
You can place larger and longer pieces of wood in a large woodstove. So you have more options when cutting wood. Don't have to cut everything a short size so it will fit!
Also more height inside. You can have several inches of ashes, the wood for a burning fire, and have room to add more wood on top of that!
If price is not a factor, what is the best, the most efficient, effective, clean burning stove available in the USA
Stoves go from $500 to well over $2000, so if money being of no consideration I would go for the most expensive one, that's what I did and have no regrets and no problem heating my 3200sq. ft. home quite efficiently with long burn times, remember you get what you pay for.
Money's no object?
Build a Russian Fireplace, then design your house around it. Efficient as all get out with literally tons of thermal mass to give off constant, even heat from short hot fires.
