I am looking to purchase a small pellet stove for a small room 15 x 15 nothing to expensive with direct venting. looking to heat a bed room that does not get heat from my main pellet stove. It has base board heating from my oil furnace but with the price of oil i hate to use it. I also donot want the window unit that i see being sold. thanks for the input
 
Ever see those window models?
Like an AC unit only a pellet instead.

I don`t know much about them (they look promising)but maybe that would be a good forum question.
This the only thing i see aside from a full on stove .

I know you did not want one (window style ) but maybe someone would chime in to see what their results with one are.
 
i looked at the window units the room i wanted to put it in does not have the proper window to install it thanks
 
From the window stove manual. window.jpg
 
I do not think it is legal in most if not all areas to install in a bedroom

J1000 is way overkill for a room that size too - mine heats 2k sq. ft. in NH. You'd have to have it set so low it wouldn't be running anywhere near its best.
 
for all you guys that dont sleep with your wife i guess sleeping on the couch is out if you own a pellet stove. Have to sleep in the garage

I've spent a few nights on the couch looking at the flame. A lot more relaxing than laying in bed listening to the wife rant.

ill just use some fans to blow the heat around the corner

If you use fans you want to blow from the cold room to the hot room . I know it may sound bass ackward,but it works the cold air is denser and easier to move it will displace the warm air pushing it to where you want it.
 
wow and i thought just using a fan to blow the warm air in would be easy lol guess ill have to try it both ways
 
you know i finally agreed to that statement, but last night i found that isnt true in all cases.
My bedroom is rather large vaulted ceiling and furthest room from the stove and upstairs to make matters worse
I placed a fan on the floor blowing out for 2 days and couldnt boost the temp in there
last night i hung it above the doorway and raised the temp by 7 degrees
my thoughts on this situation is the area is so large that blowing in the heat worked better rather then displacing it


Interesting do whatever works, it may have have something to do with the vaulted ceiling. I'm no HACV expert I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but I have spent time on hearth .com pellet forum:cool:

So, how come the distribution fan on the stove blows the hot air out instead of sucking it in......... ??????????????
 
I planned to install the 2nd stove this weekend since its going to be so mild After this i have to put it off and wait for the next cold blast to make sure.

Could it be the Somersets like my bedroom and want in??? lol

I'm sure they do !!

Take advantage of the nice weather I'm going to change oil in the truck wash & wax get snow blower ready , lawn mower away clean the stove and drink some beer :) Enjoy the weekend .
 
It sucks cold air in.

Makes sense to me it's located near the floor at the back of the stove [ in my case] pulling cold air over the heat exchanger pushing warm air out. Right?

It pushes cold air through the exchanger where it gets warmer.
