I'm looking for a good efficient fireplace insert wood stove.

 

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.

If anybody knows some good places that sell these for reasonable prices let me know.

 

thanks,

Paul

I am also curious. Our fireplace has an insert (installed when the house was built), but not a wood-stove varient. With last years $400+ electric bills, and free access to wood, I'm a bit curious about this as well. Also wonder how hard they are to install.

Our propane costs were crazy before we got our wood stove. I would definitely check out Jotul. They make stoves (I have a firelight 600) and inserts. If you go look at them in person you will see that the cast iron Jotuls are seriously higher quality than the competition's sheet metal units. Sally's Hearth in Pataskala installed ours. Aspen Fireplace on Sinclair also carries them and does installs. We went from using a tank of propane (filled to 85% each month to only using about 60% of the tank all winter...and our house is about 5000 sq. ft. When considering the cost...don't forget the tax saving opportunity the year you install it! Of course...you'll need to learn the ins and outs of firewood. We cut, split and dry our own after trying to deal with all the rip-off firewood sellers. Every single seller I have dealt with in central Ohio has tried to sell me less than HALF a cord calling it a full cord.

you don't have to already have a chimney. Here's a good link to the requirements...
