Hi I'm hoping to buy a stove this season and I'm looking for some advice on options. We are getting a chimney rebuild from the roof line up on a cape style house, which should be done in the beginning of Nov. Hope to have stove put in around the same time.
After doing some research on line and visiting two Dealers I'm thinking of going with a Harrman Accentra insert pellet stove.
My concerns are weather putting a stove in the living room fireplace,( which we are never in) how well the heat will warm the other rooms on the lower level. Our house is 900 square feet on lower level 400 on second floor. The stove would face the staircase wall which is mostly open and separates the dinning area and kitchen all open The family room is 25x18 off the back of house separated from living room by two adjacent door ways on opposite end of living room away from fire place.I'm wondering if I should put a free standing stove in basement under family room instead,or possible going with a Mt Vernon insert since it's bigger than accentra.Any thoughts to help me with my decision would be appreciated.
