A Look at the Harman Mark II Coal Stove 

There are lots of options out there for solid fuel fireplaces. This video is about a little coal stove that can also be used for burning wood. Part of the appeal here is that its construction is so rugged! Solid steel design means that there isn't much still on the market that can compete with a little beast like this- unless you are willing to spend thousands. If you're thinking about buying a new wood stove, maybe consider checking Craigslist for something like this first, because most of the modern alternatives are made from pure chintzulate.
