My house is a colonial and is 1800 sq/ft not including the basement. I plan on putting on a 1000 Sq/ft addition in the next five years. Thee floor plan is semi open and the stairwell if not in the same room as the fireplace. I have been trying to decide on a wood insert for quite some time and have finally decided on the Kuma Sequoia.
This will be my first stove. I hear many complaints about having to small a stove but few about having to large. The Sequoia has a 3.5 Cu/Ft fire box with Cat and is rated to heat 3500 Sq/ft (this rating is with a blower/fan from what I understand) I understand that if I run the stove to low (to avoid having exess heat) that it will build up to much creosote.....but isnt that the same as runing it low and slow for nite burns? Is this stove to much for me? What if I run it with out the blower?
Please help me
