My dad finally bought his "little cabin in the woods." Its an A-frame that basically sits on a cliff overlooking a beautiful farmland valley. Right now it has three kinds of heating units, the pictured Olympia wood stove, a Warm Morning Propane heater and an electric 220v heater. With a virtually endless supply of firewood possible and myself using an 13-nci, he decided to go with a new, more efficient Englander stove and put the old one out to pasture.
The cabin is about 1300 sq. ft. set up in a T shape (if you looked at from above) and is basically two rooms, a bathroom and everything else. The kitchen, bedroom, living room and mezzanine are all an open floor plan.
I was trying to sell him on the 30 due to being able to "build a smaller fire in a bigger stove" mentality. But he looked at pricing and figures the 13 would work nicely in the space.
The chimney is currently 8" and the 13 uses an 6". I don't know if the chimney is single or double walled, or if it would matter, but what will I need to connect the 6" to the 8" chimney? Does it sound like a 13 could handle the square footage in a possibly drafty cabin? (I am going to start a sealing and insulation thread in the green room.)
