After months and months of looking at wood stoves, I’ve narrowed the field own to four models. And the nominees are…
Clockwise, from top left: Scan Model 60 ($2000); Morso Model 3142 ($1568); Morso 8142 ($3000); Zephyr 2.0 ($1700).
You can read more about these models from my earlier post here. The three deciding factors will be 1) Design 2) Price and 3) Convenience (primarily log size).
And speaking of log size, there’s a big difference between all of these models. The Morsos use 12″ logs (tiny for the Pacific Northwest); The Scan uses 18″ logs (reasonable); and the Zephyr uses 21″ logs (just about anything we throw at it).
The other factor to consider is burn time. The Euro-models list a 7-8 hour burn time (longer for the Scan), while the Zephyr burns for a full 10 hours.
