Just fired up for the first time a very cheap ($129.00 retail) wood stove. The manufacturer has several other models too.

These are low tech stoves-so the low price I guess, but given a jam like this you may want to see it for a group purchase?

Let me know here and I can give you www page or how to send to you?

...and thanks.

Madeupname,

Thanks for thinking of others. I would like to see what is available and what the prices are. It may be that a woodstove for a couple hundred dollars is just what someone is looking for. We might even be able to get a discount through a cooperative order. Thanks.

You can leave a site url for me here or send it by email to faryna@groupmail.com.

Sincerely,
Stan Faryna

Note: Currently available through retailers only, but there is a contact directly through the "guestbook" link could lead to group purchase.

I think worth a look to someone short on funds. Mine was ordered and delivered in 8 days.

Remember that even an inexpensive wood stove gets very hot and generates smoke. It must be properly set up and vented, and you take dire risks if you try to cut corners in the process.

Flint,

Thanks!

PLEASE!!!! Read the post above again. The manufacturer has specifications and proper usage info at the website.

Don't fry your family trying to keep them warm.

Looking at the Vogelzang list of dealers --
