Would it be okay if I used a wood stove in Kansas City, MO.? Do people use them here?

What is better a pellet stove or a wood stove?

What have been done to modern wood stoves that make them better? What is a catalytic? I am asking this to know what to look for because I am thinking about buying used and want to know if I can modify an old one myself. Is there a big difference between old and new?

Are masonry stoves and oil stoves or whatever they’re called any good?

If I run a vent pipe out my basement windows does it have to reach above my roof?
