My aunt has one and my neighbor has TWO. They are not cheap, several thousand dollars to have installed, but the heat is amazing. Only a small hot fire ,let it go out and it throws heat all day. So the wood supply is minimal. If I could afford one, thats what I would have. Can be quite simple or incorporate bake ovens as well.

Ruth-I ask about them last winter. Check the archives for the response. I also order the catolog and price list from them! It seems that we don't get/stay cold enough here in NC to really get the best use from one! Good luck!
