I loved my DNS catalytic stove (wood/coal but only burnt wood) but it too wore out. I did buy parts and rebuild once. I also had a hard time justifying the price of catalytic converters. I now (last 10yrs?) have a non-catalytic Vermont Casting wood burning stove (can't find it on the web, maybe discontinued). I like stoves with side door to add wood, not easy to find. Make sure any stove you get can handle 20+ inch lengths. To be honest I have never liked the stove I have now, hard to start fires limited air intakes, the inside top metal/flue has basically disintegrated, there were some type of insulating blocks on the inside, they too disintegrated over time. The outside is in perfect shape and hopefully I don't have to buy another

I too have a catalyst stove and Love it.
It's a Hearthstone stove with the soapstone on the sides and it heats the whole house easily.
When we had the chimney sweeped the guy said he didn't like the soapstone style (he thinks they crack easy) but we couldn't be happier with our stove.
And Raven, that wood stove of yours looks awesome!
I would probably use it to cook all meals during the cooler months and then use the modern one for hot months.
