Sealed wood burning stoves – a list? (for a TIGHT house)

I’ve been looking through this site and found some helpful information and also spent time on the web (to no avail)
Does anyone have a source or ‘list’ of sealed combustion wood burning stoves? We’d like a fireplace/stove in our in process house and other than picking up tidbits from the Q&A, it has proven hard to find a list that we can pick from.
Morso, Jotul have the odd unit, but again – others?

Edward,
I don't know of such a list. You might want to do a Google search on the phrase "outdoor air kit" (in quotes).
If you visit Hearth.com, you'll discover that outdoor air kits are controversial. (For example, see the discussion here: http://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/why-did-you-install-an-outdoor-air-kit.153033/ .)
You might also want to read the information on outdoor air supplies provided in the links on this page of the WoodHeat.org web site: http://woodheat.org/outdoor-air-supplies.html
In my article on wood stoves (All About Wood Stoves) I discussed the question of whether (or how) to install a wood stove in a tight house. My article quotes from several sources, with some success stories and some failure stories.
