General advice for cabin heat in northern lattitudes
Help me understand the tradeoffs and what is practical.

- Solid fuel stoves
- Diesel pot burners e.g. Sig, Newport
- Newport propane "fireplace"
- Fan-forced diesel systems Eberspaecher/Webasto
- Hydronic

Reading about the problems people have with these systems, I am largely inclined to believe that a solid fuel stove is the best choice (having grown up in a house with wood heat). Someone please talk some sense into me.
