- The Wood Stove Decathlon crowned its winner this week in Washington, D.C. The Woodstock Soapstone Company of New Hampshire took first prize. Its stove, with metal art embellishing its design, came out on top after four days of judging against 11 international competitors on low emissions, high efficiency, affordability and innovation.

The soapstone, very nice. I have been in log homes that use a fireplace, and soapstone.. very large and in charge gently for many hours. Nice to see...
Well done, just waiting for it to come on the market here.
Gasifiers are probably the most efficient way to go. Definitely more efficient than a conventional wood stove...
video too short not enough details
Here it is almost 6 years later, and I cannot find what is the best wood stove. A simple list would help!
I'm looking for the same thing
There's no "best." Different styles and technologies suit different people and different ecologies in a manner that will achieve specific metrics in various ways.
Tell me what you're looking for, and I'll give you a few likely best fits for you.
#1 is the rocket mass heater
Fisher all nighter
I have a wood stove insert and have found out having to use an electric fan to get heat makes it useless for a back up heat source.
I'll keep my Fisher Mama Bear and Magic Heat, set the dampers right, throw you some good dry hardwood in it (Yellow Locust,Oak,Hickory,Cherry are my favorite) and let it rip.
Can I please ask what is it better for wood stove interior, Vermiculate or chamote? What is the difference in the quality between them? I am about to order a stove and I have been asked which interior do I want. I will be grateful for your help. Many thanks
Nice to hear him call it renewable
In europe some place people start complaining that woodstoves are bad for the environment while the govnrements want biomass powerplants...
Yet with the air blowing through it will also burn FASTER...not a good thing.
That is the key factor missed....wood is expensive and even who have it, like me, burn through an entire oak tree or more every winter to heat even a very small home. With that wind that stove is going to cook fast. Are you going to be filling the stove every hour? Its unsellable i think.
When a log is burned a certain amount of BTU's are produced regardless of a fan or not. They have stated over and over that these stoves are better then your average stove, and that would mean better efficiency of burning wood.
Marc Pollock They are efficient in the way that there are less imitations and heat loss is minimal. Not because they burn less wood. Air moving over burning anything will cause it to heat faster, thats not debatable.
I’d like to have a wood stove that can generate electricity meaning it would have two uses to produce heat and electricity.
Wood heat is not very intense, and it's bad at generating power in large quantities. How much power do you want? If you want a lot, you want to run a gasifier into an over sized gasoline generator, or an oversized motor on a correctly sized generator. If you want just a little and have excessive water, look into a peltier element.
@@markallen6433 Peltier its just 10 percent efficient.
@@mihaiilie8808 it's efficiency is dependent on temp variance, so it could be a lot less. There's a reason I suggested it if they only wanted a little power.
They have units up to 100w now than can do that
شي ظريف..
BOB
Now spell it backwards and say it again! DO IT! DO IT NOW!
DRY WOOD, that's the secret, nothing fancy. Catalytic stoves next best thing.. KISS, keep it simple stupid.
Boomers will still complain that they want their old cast iron stove with holes that you can see the fire through the cracks..
ya cant polish a turd
All of the American stoves were crude, ugly and unresolved in their design. Is it only Europeans who appreciate good industrial design?
