You might want to look at this site. They have some good info and make GREAT stoves.  I  just bought one last week.

Jutol stoves are great. They are made of cast iron so they last nearly forever. They are also handsome and well designed.

I have used a Chinese copy of the Jutol boxwood stove that I bought back in 1982 expecting to replace it with something bigger and better. It has heated our 1500 sf solar-assisted home for over 22 years now! This stove doesn't have a catalytic converter but I have enough thermal mass in the house that I can burn a hot fire and have only a few minutes of noticeable smoke coming out the chimney.

Here is a series of page links to cast iron stoves of all kinds. You can see that they are not the least expensive.

PS - You can probably find used cast iron stoves locally. There are only a few things that can go wrong with them (plates warped with heat, fireboxes burned out). Most stoves can be cleaned up and resealed with fireproof stove caulk and new gaskets.

I agree, John.  My uncle lives in Colorado  (N of Denver) and has a Jotul that heats his entire house year round.

That is why I bought mine.   :)
