Ugh this should not be soon difficult, where is a regular just upload a pic button....
How about this one as an alternative? It's nicely compact, requires little clearance, burns most anything: sticks, charcoal, presto logs, hundred dollar bills and it looks good.
We have the propane version aboard Ebbtide and use it all winter.

I not long ago converted my Airtop 2000 Wabasto to run on kerosene. Could be your wife won't find that fuel to be a problem. Has she ever been exposed to kerosene lamps? One can get a whiff of fuel burn smell in the aft cockpit when the wind is from aft but I've never smelled it in the cabin. Just a thought.
I've lowered the price enough that it doesn't make sense to run 400 hp to make pellets.We sell the sawdust . The PITA is getting dust hauling trucks in here at the right time to keep the sawdust system from backing up . Running the pellet mill keeps everything timed just right . It looks like we will start back next week and put our "summer buy pricing" out early ."We make about 2 semi loads of sawdust everyday and it's a pain to get rid of if we aren't producing pellets . "
Lower the pellet price , still better than paying at the dump.
A properly built and installed diesel stove will smell inside the boat ,
as much as a diesel Mercedes Benz smells of diesel exhaust inside.

Eric are you burning a premium hardwood pellet ?Hardwood flooring mills that make pellets usually are considered a premium pellet . Sawdust from flooring waste is cleaner and the moisture content is more consistent. A good pellet makes less ash .The thing we like least about our pellet stove at home is the fan noise and the cleaning. Ours is a very top end stove (Harmon) but requires light cleaning about everyother day and serious cleaning about once a month.

There are also many central heating forced air pellet "furnaces".
