A new 1500 sq ft home my wife and I are building is to have propane
heat. We'll be living in Adirondack Park in upstate NY.

We are debating on whether to eventually purchase either a wood stove
or a gas stove. I like wood (I enjoy splitting it, stacking it, the
smell of it) but everyone tells me gas is the way to go for
efficiency, convenience and cleanliness.

My question is that other than ambiance, would a gas stove benefit us
in any way, that is, if I already have a gas furnace does it make
sense to buy a gas stove? Would there be any benefit in purchasing
one to possibly reduce my energy bill?

Thanks in advance.

Consider this: 99.97% of people who have had a choice have switched to
gas or electric over wood.
