I got a cb I think they have a better unit and it is the only one with a local dealer when I bought it I am in ma so it had to be EPA

[TLuckoski]

I'd go with a CB 6048 for the square footage you have.

svo11,
I have a CB5036 and couldn't be happier.  You can throw anything, any size (as long as it fits through the door), in any configuration and it burns nicely.   In the past two months, we have had a dozen nights with below zero temps, and much of the time in the teens or single digits, and my CB5036 hasn't missed a beat...unless I let it run out of wood.  However, the CB5036 is too small for your application.  You  would need the CB6048 or the E2400 depending on your legal requirements or preference.  You also might consider erroring on the high side and go with the CB7260 or the E3200 as that pole barn might use quite a few BTU's.  But, most importantly is what yoderheating said regarding finding a local experienced dealer.  A warranty is good to have, but a good dealer is a must have!

 Its like buying a car..Warranty, all the bells and whistles that go with it. ..So many brands out there.. Word of mouth is a good thing as well..You got a list of OWB's brands with this web sight link on this forum ..Like me theres a few reasons why I went Aqua-Therm..Everyone has there preferences..At the end they work the same..Burn wood or coal and keep your house and hot water warm.. If you live in a EPA state..Your more limited to what you can buy...
