Just for curiosity, how many square feet are the ladies and gentlemen of this forum heating with their stoves.

Cheers
 
Our wood stove is in the basement of a 1000 sq. ft. house, so I would say 2000 sq. ft.
Smaller than most on here, I'm sure.... :coolsmile:
 
1500
 
2000
 
2500+
 
pellet stove,
very open floor plan
3900 ft2
stays at 68-70 degrees, outside temp 20 degrees
gets into teens furnace will kick in a couple times a night
 
2100sqft, nice open two story floor plan. Our "average" temps for this time of year are 20(ish) for a low and 41(ish) for a high. Living room with stove is warmest room in house.. master bath is farthest point away from stove, usually about 5 degree difference in temperature.
 
~1900. 900 where the wood stove is in the basement, 1000 upstairs.

Small ranch about 1100sf, stove heats about half of that.

One thing that makes me wonder, is why do they rate stoves in "square feet heated",
I don't know many people that live in a 2 dimensional houses. ;-)

Because most people don't know how many cubic feet their houses are. :lol:

BTW, ours is ~15,500 cubic feet. :p
 
2120 sqft

1400 sq ft most the time as I close off some of the rooms not in use.
 
3000 - 2000 first floor (fairly open concept) and 1000 upstairs. 100% wood. Cheers!
 
I keep re-measuring. This time, I got 1197 sq. ft., and the walls are about 7.75 ft high.
My older Ashley step-top does pretty well unless the temps go below 0.
Stove sits in a room (toe of an L) off the living room, but the rest of the house is actually quite open.......well, except for the back bedroom. Very hard to get much heat back there, but I have ideas. :coolsmile:
 
about 2400 sf... Some of which is a poory insulated garage (500sf)... But I do have a pellet stove upstairs that I run to make the room furthest away (500sf room above the garage) toasty warm if I'm going to be in there. Temps in the house are usually upper 70's downstairs.. Lower 70's/upper 60's upstairs. Garage stays upper 40's
 
We have about a 2500 sq ft bungalow. Looking forward to installing a second stove in the spring/summer that will hopefully allow me to heat solely with wood.
 
I heat about 2000 sq ft. It's an open floor plan with cathedral ceilings.
 
1000 sq. ft of almost uninsulated space, which a Summit does just fine in... can't wait to build a bigger house with real insulation!
 
2159 sq ft of draftiness...
 
2100 w/ what feels like endless vertical. I sure hate heating all that unused cathedral space!
 
1320 total on 3 floors
 
1250 square feet on one floor, in a zone 4 (8000 HDD) climate
