Woodstove Newbie

Hello All, Its seems you all have a lot of knowledge when it comes to woodstoves. I am a newbie and have been creeping around your forum for a few weeks now and decided to post. We are looking at woodburning inserts and have decided between the Lopi and the Hampton. First off I have seen some of your comments between Cast iron and Steel. My STep - father is adament that cast iron will crack and steel is a much better choice, I of course like the look of the Hampton...any comments? Also I am a mildy sensitive to smoke...so in the past fires haven't really bothered me too much..only if we had some wet wood. How will burning in a insert differ from that of my fireplace...do you think its more or less smoke. I am waiting to spend the weekend at my parents house to see if their insert is troublesome to me...any comments. It's alot of money to put into an insert just to find out that my eyes burn and I cough all the time. Many Thanks...AJMAC Wading River NY
