g935cab,
Where do you live? If you have to have a certified stove, and or a building inspection then this stove probably won't work for you. Also depending on how cold it gets where you live one of those stoves may not put out enough heat for you, especially in an uninsulated building.

im in maryland , our winters have been mild lately but 30s are common in january if i could get it to 60 degrees on a cold day that would do it my local store sells them i should be able to get it inspected with the proper chimney set-up, i dont have propane or natural gas out back and electic needs good insulation now , so my options are this or a 30 gallon drum heater ive heard the 55 gallon drums will get a small shop toasty on a cold day im hoping this stove will be a little safer and perform as well , thanks for your input ~G

Last year the Tractor Supply Company store near me carried that exact stove. If you have one of those stores near you, then you might take a look and see if they have one in stock this year.
I was going to go with a stove in my building but decided on a propane heater because I couldn't find anyone that would insure a garage type structure with wood heating in it. I have my heater now but haven't installed it yet. I'm going to lease a propane tank from a local dealer, 150 gallon tank or so is only about $38.00 a year to lease here as long as you get it filled once a year.

I have a 1,200sq ft home and this same stove keeps the house 65-75 when its -10 outside... Depending on the wood I may open a window.
