I have an Allnighter wood stove that I have had for around 25 years. It is still like new and works great. They must be well built.
My buddy is telling me it is a wood hog though. New ones are much better he says and use less wood. Well I'm sure he is right but I love this stove. My house is 1500 square feet and I live in Northern Indiana. It has been know to have some nasty cold winters. I did put in a heat pump 2 years ago that I turn on when it is mildley cold out. Up until then the wood stove was all I used to heat the house. I burn around a cord of wood in a season. That don't sound bad to me.
If I did get a new stove what are the good dependable ones out on the market? I've read a lot but don't really have a clue. This All Nighter has a big door for big pieces and is built like a tank.
