I bought a US stove pellet/corn burner. It works very well, the guys on this site helped me in the decision to buy one. 1. a corn/pellet burner is automatic as long as you fill the hopper every 7 hours or so. 2. a wood stove needs to be reloaded every 3-4 hours or so, at least mine did and it would not save me money on the propane bill because I have to go to work, sleep etc. If you buy a stove be sure it burns corn and pellets. I paid $483 for 2 tons of pellets, that is $4.83 (with tax) per 40lb. bag of pellets. I go through 80 lbs. of pellets in a 24 hr. period. Keep in mind that in the dead of winter the pellets will be $10/day vs. $20/day for propane. Corn in my area is $7/100lb. bag. Corn is a little harder to store but garbage cans are cheap in the long run.
IMO----a wood stove is great if you are retired and can load wood into the stove all the time to keep the main furnace from turning on.
If I had to guess you will likely go through $5/day of firewood if you had to buy it and burn it in a stove. Firewood can be cheap I just sold 2 pickup loads to a guy for $60, about 2 face cords.
