Reviewed by:

Soapstone panels, an automatic glass cleaning system, and a brass sunburst on the viewing window are a few of the options on this stoker coal stove.

But this stove is more than just beauty -- it can provide up to 85,000 BTUs of heat or as little as 5,000 BTUs with the simple turn of a wall-mounted dial. The stove can be operated without the blower in warmer months.

Designed to vent through a chimney, the stove can also be installed with through-the-wall venting with one of two adapters. This rugged and beautiful stove will run you around $2,500 (September 2005).
