They will keep a bank of coals all night or at least most of the night and they put out a lot of heat. Get a heavy duty steel one. A flat top will allow you to put a kettle of hot water on top for humidification if you want. The walls should be hefty steel with brick liner. The doors should open enough to allow you to put in your logs. Usually they have vents that screw in/out on the doors so you can adjust the amount of air the fire gets. The doors will have a gasket around the opening so air doesn't leak around the doors. I recommend that you get an airtight woodstove.

I think it would be perfect to have a home close by for weekends but make one home your primary residence. I sometimes feel like a divided person with no special roots. This year I think we are going to do eight and four.That might be a lot better. We have two homes except they are over two days of driving apart.
