I have a Lopi woodstove but I only use it when it is single digits or lower to keep my gas bill stable as it will get too hot in the house otherwise. The thing heats 2500 sq ft no problem and we only have birch and spruce up here. They are good to have in the event of a power outage or furnace failure. Once you get the modern ones up to temp there's hardly any smoke and ash is minimal and the ash is a good addition to garden compost. It also has a cooktop if you are a prepper type.
