During my search for a "suitable" wood stove, a few options caught my attention. They are all small, as a larger stove would not be practical.

Brunner, Iron Dog 1
Jotul, F 602
Nordpeis, Orion
and Nordpeis, ME Wall

For the intended use, I like the "Iron Dog One" the most. However, I can’t find any reports worldwide from someone who actually owns one.

The chances might not be good, but I’ll give it a try:

Does anyone know it?

That's why I just buy an insert and build the appearance that suits me around it.

Or, if it's still in the future:

Not yet. I still have plenty of other tasks to handle with my renovation.
I have only selected the fireplace insert and discussed everything with the chimney sweep (it’s a replacement of an old open fireplace – so I already have a hearth and chimney).
Fireplace insert Kratki MBM 11 right (corner fireplace).

just checked ...

that also costs something ... 🤨

How is the decision made?
I am looking for stoves with low kW (because a stove operating at medium load (not sure what the official term is) works best.
So far, I haven’t found any built-in units below 8 kW.

It’s actually one of the most affordable inserts on the market. 😉

It was supposed to be a corner fireplace insert, with outside air supply, no ash drawer, and fit onto the existing platform.
A comparable insert from Brunner, Spartherm, or similar brands costs two to three times as much and doesn’t offer more performance (except maybe somewhat better craftsmanship or DiBT certification, which I don’t require).

AFFORDABLE 😱
Why do these inserts—without an outer casing—cost about the same as a complete stove with housing? Is there more complex technology inside or what?

I'm still undecided about the ash pans.
On one hand, I like the method of building the fire on a smooth stone and removing the ash whenever convenient. That’s how fireplaces worked for thousands of years... (Fireplaces just aren’t really efficient.)

On the other hand, it makes sense to supply air from below, because that’s the most effective way to provide oxygen to the fire.
