So I got what I thought was an approximate price for everything I needed for the mf5000, which was $8000. I take out a loan for that exact amount and then my invoice is $9000.  My question is this: I would like the 5000 so I only load my furnace once a day, but my house is 2000 sq ft, so do I really need it? Would I be fine with the mf3000? I can't tell if I'm too stuck on the 5 and need to settle for the 3. I've also thought about moving brands and doing the woodmaster 4400 (which I could afford with my budget) bc is still heats the same amount as the 5000, but it doesn't have the grates/ ash pan which is a major selling point for me. Help please!

I guess it all depends on how well your house is insulated.  If it is insulated fairly well I would say it would be fine but I will let someone else give you a more accurate answer.  Why is the MF5000 9K???  You need to contact one of the Heatmaster dealers on this site and get a quote through them.  I bought mine from Scott.

Ben,

Will you be having an additions in the future? I like the Heatmaster design, those grates look really nice and so does the fit & finish as well.

That ash auger on the Woodmaster looks like the ticket. Several people on here have that stove as well.

I guess Stainless vs. Boiler Plate steel would be a thought. I've seen many stoves with Boiler Plate last forever!!

Both look like great choices, I'll leave oversizing to the experts. I believe oversizing a stove is a no-no. I could lead up to
heavy moisture and creasote in your firebox.
