My friend is looking at buying a wood burning stove although she can not decide what type of style to go for. Any ideas?

Definitely worth it, if you have access to free or inexpensive wood, you don't mind getting some serious exercise every Fall, and you already have a chain saw and pickup truck.
I used only wood to heat my 2000 Sq. Ft. place in NM for 2 seasons, and never regretted it. I bought a Vermont Castings stove, and ripped out the old heat-wasting slump-block fireplace and replaced it with a brick/stucco/concrete surround that stored the stove's heat and slowly released it into the house long after the fire went out. Turned off the 2 gas furnaces the house had, but the gas company still came out one Saturday to replace their meter, insisting it was malfunctioning (previous month's bill was only $11, for drying clothes), despite my best efforts to convince them that the large woodpile they had to move to change out the meter was the reason my bill was so small.
