1,400 square foot area

The F400 is definitely as good a stove as the F500 in regards to quality of construction. I have no problem recommending one if it fits the needs. But it is a different size stove and had a different design. One is a front loader designed for areas when one does not have a lot of depth. The other is a deeper side-loading stove.

Both stoves are smaller than the Morso 3610 you were considering and which seems like a good fit. Maybe continue on if there are more questions in that thread?

Thank you for that information. We are considering the F500, F400 and Morso 3610.
We have a Morso 7642 and I can tell you that we are very pleased with it, it is a beautifull stove, which we mainly just use at the weekends when we use the lounge and it is very clean burning.
The 3610, does it have vermiculite or brick lining? I would guess that its a fire that will leave plenty embers the next day?
Anyway, I ll not hyjack Diane's thread and will revert to my own, thanks Begreen.
