I have an older majestic prefab wood burning fire place that we have not used in years because they waste more heat than they give. Our raised ranch is currently heated mostly with a pellet stove located on the first floor. We have an oil furnace but prefer not to use any more oil than that needed for the hot water.
We are in the process of making up our minds on a Majestic propane fireplace insert. This stove will be in our living room. (second floor) I would have gone to another pellet stove, but I don't want to be driven out by the heat, or lug bags of pellets up the stairs. I am only interested in bringing up the temp a few degrees in that room. A couple of options we are considering is 1. a blower. 2, thermostat, remote or wall mounted. This stove will be direct vent and have outside air installed for combustion. Any thoughts?
