[Greenbuilding] small woodstove recommendation?

[Beatrice Dohrn]

I had years of good service from a palladium from Woodstock soapstone.  It did have a catalytic -- or I chose that option -- but really the soapstone performs so much better than steel -- even-er heat,  longer hold of heat after fire is out.  I thought it handsome too... but they ahve various styles.  I bought and installed it in an upstate nY house that I built in 1990 and sold 18 months ago,  and it never failed in any way... though I think I once replaced the catalytic.

Excellent choice! The catalytic converters burn out fairly fast, then
you have a poorly designed, dirty burning stove!
