[quote=Anonymous]In preparation for another harsh winter with two little kids in a single family home with no fireplaces, I am looking at getting a stove for emergency heat.

I looked at natural gas, but just to run the gas line is $1000.  I'm on a budget here (single mom).  So it's probably got to be wood despite the drawbacks of that (smell, mess).

I saw that Tractor Supply Co, Home Depot, even Amazon have small stoves that can heat 1000 or 2000 feet for less than $1000, plus of course I'd have to pay for the venting/chimney/pad.

Frankly some of these prices are hard for me to believe - I saw one cast iron stove for under $200!  With mixed reviews.  Can anyone offer me advice on choosing an affordable wood stove for emergency heating?  My goal is just to keep one room (the sunroom/addition) warm enough to camp out with hats and blankets.  I don't want to feel like I have to abandon my house during the next blizzard when my neighborhood is no where near to being plowed and all I have is a Prius and two little girls :)

Thank you for any help!  [/quote]
