    Anyone making a pell. stove w/ very small footprint? Want to put in a traditional Cape style living room (14 x11?) and don't want to give up what little space there is. THANKS!

    The Thelin Gnome is a nice stove, but not many people have them. The Enviro Mini is a very nice unit, small footprint, built-in "hearth", and VERY quiet! It has a decent following on this forum.

    Along with the other stoves mentioned would be a Jamestown J1000 or a St. Croix Element.

    I would put a vote in for the Enviro Mini as well. Good stove, very quiet puts out a good amount of heat for it's size.

    P38 or 43. Get the heat shields and tuck it in a corner. It might blow you out of that room but it'll heat the rest of yer house in the process ;)

    I didn't have a lot of room so I built this and got a Quad CB1200i. Worked for me.

    I have a Lopi Pioneer and it works well. I have a 1600sq/ft cape and it heats it nicely. The living room/dining room were L shaped, 19x11 one leg and 10x11 on the other. The clearances are surprisingly tight, take a look at the specs and see for yourself. I don't think of the stove as particularly small, I just needed one small enough to NOT run us out of the room! That said, I just knocked down some walls for a major remodel and now the stove sits in a 23x20ft space. Heats it, and the rest of the house even better now.

    I would go with an Accentra cress standing over the p series stove when looking for smallest footprint. The Jamestown j1000 is the smallest stove out there. Enviro mini is a fave of mine.

    Wow, really? Did you call them and light a fire under their ace? A decent dealer should have those in stock, otherwise they could be losing a sale/install on a stove if a customer wants minimum clearances.....or in a case like yours, mepellet.

    I'm gonna call again today. It has been almost a month now. This dealer has been nice but very slow on the responses.

    What's the price for an Element? Prices aren't listed on the st. Croix site and I tried a few dealer sites but no prices either.
