We put in a Scandia 150, this is a older knock off of a design very much like the Jotul 602. It has a real oval flue and can take 16" logs...not very many but enough for a 3-4 hour burn. We will be installing a damper in the flue here next week to try to get more burn time. We also line the bottom with fire brick to add some thermal mass. Not sure hoe it was originally configured stove is many 20 years old...we got it off craig's list for only $130

I bought an old wood stove for about $200 with all the pipe including tripple wall to go through the roof. It has a screen to attach to open the doors and use it like a fireplace. We maintain about 70 degrees in out 14 x 24 log cabin even when it is well below freezing outside. We also cook off the stove with an array of dutch ovens and cast iron skillets.

Morso makes some really nice small stoves. They have convection type as well as radiant styles. The convection stoves are nice because they can be placed closer to walls, furniture, etc. The ex has one in her place and it works great. Looks good, too.

We got the Harman Oakwood from Wholesale Distributors of Alaska (in Fairbanks). I'm sure you can find a distributor online, even if it has to be shipped to you in Arizona.
We love our Oakwood and the it's plenty small enough to fit and still puts out enough heat for our little 16x24 cabin. It has a flat cooktop, and we purchased the additional side warming trays. The center of the cooktop lifts up so you can load wood from the top or the front through the glass door, and we got the nifty grill rack that fits in the top hole so we can grill over the fire inside in the winter (it works great for brats!) It is a high efficiency NON-CATALYTIC stove, and it's cast iron not rolled steel. It weighs about twice what a rolled steel stove the same size would, but it won't warp or burn out like the steel stoves can.
It is a tad on the spendy side, especially if you also get double walled flue pipe and a double walled insulated stainless steel chimney... but I think this stove will definitely outlive us!
Now, if you're looking for something less glamorous and a little more utilitarian, our stove in the wall tent is a Four Dog steel stove "Five Dog" model with water jacket (the "deluxe"). We got it from The Wall Tent Shop. With shipping from Idaho, they run between $450 & $600.

We're in the process of shopping for a wood stove for our 22x26' log cabin (572 sf main floor and 3/4 loft.) The stove will be our only source of heat and we'll be using the cabin in the COLD winter- below 0 F temps, so we want to make sure we get a good one. However, we've been cautioned against getting a stove that's too big, as we could get *too* hot, especially in the loft. Is there any truth to this?
For the size of our cabin, what BTU level should we be aiming for? What's the minimum burn time we'd want?
Thanks in advance for any info (or links to discussions that have covered this.)

When you say you'll be using the cabin in cold weather, do you mean continuous use or sporadic weekend use with weeks of non use in between?
Loft's tend to be much warmer/hotter than the main floor no matter what size stove one has. Heat rises after all.

Primarily sporadic use in the winter (weekends and holidays.) Yes, we have all the sleeping space in the loft since it will be warmer. We've thought about getting a thermostat controlled fan that would blow the warm air back down to the main level, but I haven't done much research on that.

My opinion is you need two wood burning stoves. One big one to supply lots of heat for warm up and a smaller one for maintaining the temperature once it is warm. Log cabins are ill suited to sporadic use in cold climates. The mass of the log walls is your friend once the logs have warmed, but they are your nemesis until that happens. And it can take a weekend to get a log cabin to the point where you don't feel the cold cascading off the log walls and making everyone feel chilly all weekend. Once the mass has warmed then it is easy to keep the temperature at a livable level. Fans can help, but the main issue is getting the temperature of the mass raised to a comfortable point.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we are prepared for the LONG time it will take to warm the cabin, but we were committed to a log structure. I should add that we will be on the grid and have electricity, so we figured we could supplement with electric heat (baseboard or portables.) It sounds like we should make sure the stove we get is large enough to combat the cold logs.

i have an old Maine woodstove to heat my 20 X 20 in Alaska. it works great, but even with R-30 insulation takes 24 hours to heat the cabin up to 64. most important thing about a small wood stove is that the stack go straight into the stove. that way, you can brush straight up and crawl on top of roof and brush straight down for creosote purposes AND all windblown wet will drip into stove not on surrounding floor.
So, I am looking for a new stove cuz the maine has a 90 degree stack.
