Currently burning a Lopi Freedom downstairs, and I am looking to install a pellet stove upstairs in a bonus room over the garage. I am thinking that it would be less mess throughout the house if I am carrying bags of pellets upstairs instead of firewood. Anyhow, I want a stove that will heat 1200 sq ft, in some kind of finish other than black. Enamel or Soapstone are the other available options I guess. Local stove store has Quadrafire and St Croix. I am looking for some real world input on stoves you folks are using. The other reason I am looking at pellet stoves is that I am not sure I can get a tall enough flue to get a wood stove to draft properly if installed on the second floor.
Thanks for the input,
Mike
