Is there such a thing ? I guess what I really mean is, is there a less desirable model looks wise that still heats well? I'm thinking discount heat. :D

The only pretty ones I like is the Saint Nickolas and the Sterling. They have scroll work all over, not just here and there.

The Sterling even has a bi-metalic spring at the top trim ring.

I have a Clarion 115 it's kind a plain looking.

:annoyed: Maybe ugly was the wrong word. Plain. Ahhh, how about the Kia of stoves? Something that works well, but would not be a Chevy or fancy as a Porsche. Just plain or serviceable but a step above a Yugo. :annoyed:

LOL. Yeah, but you know how to fix/repair from a pile of parts that someone stuffed in a box. I could do that with some things, but I've only seen these stoves in pictures.

If you don't mind looks, PM member Steve - screen name "Kingcoal". He might be willing to sell his Frankenstove base heater ?
