Vogelzang Deluxe Boxwood BX42E
Great stove for the money. If you have had $1500 dollar stoves in the past then you won't like this one. However it heats up my 1200 sq ft upstairs without blinking an eye here in south, MO. I would recommend that you vent straight up through the roof and not through the wall. it makes all the difference in the world with this little guy not to have any bends in the pipe.
