What about a freestanding stove like this placed inside my fireplace hearth?
"First off - be ready to move that TV. Even if you have clearance the heat coming off an insert or stove will eventually cook it"
Just be aware that heat is the enemy of any electronic equipment. Every installation will be different. Your TV manual should give operating temperature range specs and you can go from there. Personally, I don't think I'd be too comfortable with a TV directly above my stove. YMMV."First off - be ready to move that TV. Even if you have clearance the heat coming off an insert or stove will eventually cook it"
Is this absolutely true? I have such a setup, but with a full motion mount. Doesn't seem to be an issue.

I would think that the Englander 13 would work fine for that house if it fits. You're not going to get much of that heat to the lower level anyway.Check out the nc30i. http://englanderstoves.com/13-nci.html
1500 sq feet heating. Big glass window.1.8 cu in firebox.
That wouldn't be too bad, but I'd be more concerned with my TV absorbing radiant heat so close.I've seen the ceiling above my stove read 85 or more, Thats 5 feet off the stove top.

So I’m narrowing it down to an insert I can find with a firebox of at least 2.0ft which will put me over my budget, or a free standing stove that I can squeeze into my hearth.
I’ve found a great couple deals on Majestic and Century’s inserts, but they are only 1.3-1.5 fireboxes, and I feel I won’t be able to heat as much as I want to.
I’m really set on the Englander NC30.. My local HD has one, and I want to go check them out. I would love to place this inside my hearth and use this solely to heat most of my home.
I feel based on the reviews, a block off plate, and a steel liner, I can achieve this with this stove.
The stove is literally a 28-29” high stove.. I wonder if I grinded off some of the legs if I can clear this? The inside of my hearth is higher once past the clearing, basically where my flue is, which I will need to grind out & clear to accommodate a 6” liner.
Can anyone give me there thoughts on doing this?
I’m guessing at most, my home is 1500-1700 sqft and I only truly want to heat the main floor and uppers so I’m guessing that puts me at 1300-1500 sqft.
If that fits, I'd say go for it. It probably is overkill in size, but you can have smaller fires and I'm unfamiliar with your climate. Other 30 owners can address the issue of size better, but it or the 13 is probably the best stove available for your budget. As others have said, you generally get what you pay for, but the Englander line seems to be a bit of an exception.The 30 comes with a pedestal base and the optional 9" legs.
They do also make a 6" leg kit.

Stove is still too tall for their fireplace with the six inch legs. The stove top would then be 27" high but the flue collar/heat shield add two more inches of height. Wouldn't be able to get to the liner/flue collar to attach it.
