I am looking for the smallest wood stove with a cook top. (ex. Napoleon 1150p or smaller.) The least expensive would be appreciated also.
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
We only have a small selection of wood stoves that feature cook tops. One option is, of course, the 1150. However, we could add a cook top option to our NPL-1400. Please follow the below links to check out this option.
NPL-1400.
Cook Mate Accessory.
This option would result in a smaller cooking service but this stove, including options, would cost less and it would be slightly smaller than the 1150.

I have asthma and my husband insists we have a wood stove, which I think is a Virginia cast iron stove. The one we currently have is very old, cast iron with a blower attached on the back. It can't get very hot, we're constantly putting wood into it and it smokes out of the door and the window in front at times. We burn good lodgepole pine so creasote shouldn't be building up. Do you have something that would heat a 2500 sq ft home, is EPA guaranteed and clean burning?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on March 18, 2013
Answer:
Older cast iron stoves can indeed back puff and are not truly air tight. A sealed EPA stove will go a long way to rectify the smoke issue, especially if you are able to use an outside air kit for combustion air to the stove. While we sell several models that can heat the square footage you have, one that I recommend often is the
Osburn 2400 High Efficiency EPA Woodburning Stove. Being a plate steel stove, it will have superior heating capacity, as heat transfers through the stove body more readily. Cast iron stove will stay warmer longer, but cannot match the temperature achieved by a steel model. Use of a blower on the 2400 would be a good idea as well, as this always boosts thermal efficiency. This unit has clean, machine welded lines and is a well built, attractive stove. You will need to verify the size of your existing flue before you purchase a new model. Almost every EPA stove, including the 2400, needs a 6 inch flue to draft properly. Older stoves often uses an 8 inch chimney, which wouldn't work with a new EPA stove.

Looking to replace a wood stove: 2200 sq ft home, 8 ft ceilings, single story with crawl space. It has a large brick hearth. I want outside air for combustion & blower. What are your top three recommendations?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 28, 2012
Answer:
Top sellers for this square footage range are the
Napoleon Large Pedestal Wood Burning Stove, the
Osburn 2400 High Efficiency EPA Woodburning Stove and the
US Stove Extra-Large EPA-Certified Wood-Burning Stove.
All three stoves are capable of heating your square footage without being operated at a continually high burn. Both the Napoleon and Osburn stoves are among the finest steel bodied stoves in the industry, with very clean welds and exceptional efficiency and durability. The U.S. Stove model is more rustic and simple, but has been a good seller as well and is well liked for its "no frills" character and good value. All three models can use outside air kit and blowers. The U.S. Stove will include the blower as standard.

Hi, I need a woodstove for my deer camp. We have a 24'x24' shed that we'd like to heat exclusively with the wood stove. We would also like to cook on it. It must be UL listed and approved for mobile or modular home in order to meet code in our area. Can you tell me what options I have?
Thank you,
Matt

I'm interested in a wood-burning stove for a tiny house (400-500 sq ft). Do you have to have a fireplace to vent the stove?
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on November 16, 2012
Answer:
Our freestanding wood stoves do not need an existing fireplace or chimney. You will need to use 6" inner diameter stovepipe and 6" inner diameter Class A chimney pipe to vent all of our models.
If needed, please fill out our
Chimney Pipe Design & Quote Form, and we can provide an estimate on costs for your application.

Do you offer any wood burning stoves with rear vent capabilities that can get by with a 15” side clearance?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
The only wood burning stove that we currently offer with the ability to convert to a rear-vent unit is this:
Wood Burning Stove
The side clearances of this stove are 16", however, and the rear clearance is 22". Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Are there any tax credits for energy efficiency on wood stoves?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
Certain models of high efficiency wood and pellet stoves did indeed qualify for a federal tax credit. These units had to be purchased and installed by the end of 2011. Currently, I do not have any information as to if this credit will be extended for the 2012 tax year.
We expect to hear more about this as the year progresses, but don't have this info currently.By Octavian on November 9, 2012
I am looking for a wood burning stove that can be inserted into a box to make it look like a fireplace. The outside air intake has to be through the floor, as the stove will be placed in some sort of fake, small "wall" that will partially separate the dining and living areas (which are just open space, no dividing wall right now). Local code (WA state) does not allow air to come from a vented crawl space, it has to come from outside. On the opposite side, I plan to have (maybe) book shelves, so it should be well insulated in the back. It should be efficient in terms of heating.
Other considerations:
- the cabin is about 1500 sq feet, the area where this would be is about 800 sq feet
- it should have a quiet fan/blower and maybe a thermostat
- I would like to build this into 2x4 framing, into a small wall-like structure separating the otherwise opened dinner/living area
What kind of non-combustible enclosure would be required? How is that playing with the opposite wall not getting hot? Do you sell anything that would be along these lines?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
We do indeed carry several high efficiency stoves that can be inserted into smaller alcoves and draw air from outdoors. There will need to be some sort of non-combustible surround around the stove, in order to maintain proper clearance. We also offer a few high efficiency fireplaces that are designed to look like stoves, which can be built into 2 x 4 framing.
From your specifications, you will essentially require a zero clearance firebox, rather than a true stove. To this end, you will not need to add any non-combustible material around the unit. You will be able to simply frame a 2 x 4 enclosure around the unit, then slide the unit into the opening and finish off the surrounding wall.
