Hi all,
New to the list, and have a few questions...we are looking to buy a stove for the house we are currently building. It is 1200sq ft, two story house that is VERY well insulated. We don't like to be cold. We live on the Washington state coast, where it doesn't usually get below 20 degrees, and is on average 50-60 all year however it does blow 50-100mph often and that makes it chilly. We are also heating our home with a boiler outside the house to heat radiant floors.
We will be using it to burn dimensional lumber left over from demolishing two shacks that were on our land, as we would rather do that than throw it in a landfill. When that runs out we will burn wood from our property, mostly alder and lodgepole pine.
My hearts desire is to get a wood cookstove, but alas there are none that I can find that conform to Washington states restrictive guidlines. Does anyone know of one?
If that is not possible, the next best option is perhaps the Morso 2B Standard. I am imagining that the device on top may be able to be used to make a few things, a pot of beans, water for our coffee in the morning, ect. Maybe even some muffins if I enclose it with some steel plates? Just ideas bumping around in my head.
Another requirement is that it be low profile, as we have a tiny living room/entry area that is the most efficient place for the stove. It is in the center of the house and in front of the stairs, where the stovepipe would travel up through our bedroom which is the 2nd floor. I would love to have one that has a clearance of 6" or less to the rear and side to a non combustible surface.
Finally, we are looking to pay at max $2k.
Thank you in advance for your guidance I look forward to your replies.
