Catalytic is the only way to go, man. They are so much more efficient than an old fashioned stove it's not even funny.
I heat my house with a Woodstock Soapstone Fireview. Yes, it was expensive, but considering I heat my house for the price of 2 ricks of wood ($140 a year) and it will burn 12+ hours on one load and retain heat and embers for days, it pays for itself pretty quick.
Whatever you get, get a catalytic.
WTH? Is that your house Ridge? Looks like you took decorating lessons from Dr. Seuss.
