I researched wood stoves extensively before I purchased my Woodstock Fireview. It is without a doubt the most highly rated woodstove out there. The best thing is that it is made right here in Lebanon NH. I started using it November 5th and I haven't had to restart it since. It burns 10 to 12 hours at a time with no problem. It is soapstone so it really holds the heat and is great to burn 24/7. You see the fire thru the glass and the glass stays nice and clean. It takes longer to heat up than a steel or cast iron stove but once it's warmed up it lasts much longer. I load it up before I go to bed (around 11:00 PM) and in the morning (9 or 10 AM) I just load regular sized splits and it starts up again. No need for kindling since the ashes are still so hot. It heats my 1600 sq ft house with no problem and no oil. You can't buy these in a store, you must go directly to the manufacturer. It seems to use about a third less wood than my previous woodstove. Can you tell I really like it?
