Several years ago I picked-up a close-out model Vermont Casting Pinnacle gas stove on Ebay for about half of list price. It sat in a corner of my city home awaiting the cabin build and the first winter heating season. It's a Direct Vent type, using 4" by 6-5/8" concentric duct pipe for both exhaust and combustion air. So no interior fumes, or cabin air consumption. I decided on a wall flue exit, more simple and I always avoid roof breaches when ever practical. Since I have my own supply of natural gas from wells on the property, I'm using this no-cost fuel, but it came with an LP conversion kit also. I believe it's rated at 35,000 btu's on full blast, but after it rather quickly heats-up the cabin, I switch it to the remote control and auto mode which allows it to be set at a lower flame and nearly silent fan level. The remote also controls the thermostat which throttles the flame on & off according to the user set temperature, where ever you move the remote. So far I'm super-pleased with the quality, features and cabin application. Attached are a couple of photos, the ecco-fan is mostly for visual effect, the stove doesn't really need help dissapating the heat.

Wow, you are one lucky cabin dweller! About the only down side is that you can't keep in shape cutting, splitting and stacking wood.

I have an old Vermont Castings wood stove in our farmhouse that we never use anymore (bought a Jotul insert for the fireplace that does it all) We just keep the VC as decoration. It's a thing of beauty.

Congratulations. Good for you!
