If you’re looking to use the wood stove as your primary source of heat, then you’ll want to go with a catalytic option like the Model 91. Catalytic units have an efficiency rating of 72%. A downside of this type of unit is that it requires more maintenance. Eventually, the catalyst (average price around $500 USD) will need to be replaced which is an important time/monetary factor to consider. 

Non-Catalytic wood stoves like Model 74, Model 21, and Model 81 are excellent options if you’re looking to use your wood burning stove as a supplementary heat source. These units have a lower efficiency at 63% and require less maintenance than their counterparts. With a slightly lower price point and the exclusion of needing to buy a replacement catalyst down the road, a Non-Catalytic wood burning stove is a great choice for a budget-friendly buyer.

If you live in a mobile home or are in search of an easy installation alternative then a zero-clearance stove is the right choice for you. Model 21 NC ZC and Model 74 ZC were designed to be well-insulated so there is no distance requirement between where it is installed and its framing. Low maintenance, easy to operate, straightforward installation, if these benefits seem important to you then a Model 21 NC ZC and Model 74 ZC are your best bet.
