I'm just dreaming at the moment, but someday, money permitting, I plan to buy a little piece of land up here in Big Sky to build my own log house...
Here's one of the floor plans I really like- maybe just increase the sq. footage a little bit- maybe increase it up to 2,000 sq. ft. (the company that makes these places posts these plans as suggestions, & can customize or modify any plan you like). And of course, I want to heat with wood (why else would I be a heath.com member? ;-P) Keep in mind Big Sky is located in a relatively cold mountain climate at 7,500 feet.
Even though I'm just dreaming at the moment, I'd like your opinions on what wood-burning unit you'd suggest putting in the place, just out of curiosity.
Among the various units I'm dreaming to put in it:
Possibly a Heat N' Glo North Star fireplace, or maybe a Fireplace Xtrordinaire (do you guys think a 44-elite would overheat the place?- I do love things with large fireboxes. )
Or maybe a free-standing stove, such as the Avalon Olympic would be better? Maybe I should buy all of the above, plus a Hearthstone Equinox? (OK, now I'm really dreaming. LOL)
Again, I'm just dreaming- just curious what all you guys think.
btw- here's some side info & additional plans from that company- http://www.nordiqueloghomes.com/index.html
