New stove recomendations

[gmule]

Okay guys I think it is time I replace my old Shenandoah wood and coal burner that is in the basement.
Since the installation of the fire view upstairs I rarely light the one in the basement unless I am going to be down there for any length of time or if it gets below 0 and the fire view can't quite keep up.

my home is a 2500 sq foot ranch on a walk out. Part of the lower level is a 2 car garage and crawlspace. The area I want to heat is about 620 sq feet that is not finished.
The chimney is a 6" through the wall set up that has a stack height of 18'

Ideally I would put in a another fire view but I think that a iron stove would heat the area up faster and since I don't always use that space I think that would be the better way go for quicker heat in that space. What stoves can you recommend that would heat that space with a 4-6 hour burn time?

Englander NC-30 seems to be the default recommendation for lots of quick heat.

The 30-nc seems too large for 600 sq. ft. plus will burn much longer than 4-6hrs.. Perhaps a 13-NC or T-4 or the steel equivalent PE would be a better fit in this situation?

True North TN19, Napoleon 1450, Drolet Escape 1800 are a few that I would also consider.

Thanks for the suggestions. Now to find some dealers to check these out. Hopefully I can make a decision by the end of the summer

I'll throw the Lopi Republic 1250 out there. We have the 1750 and it is a good performer for us and can heat up our space relatively quickly when needed. We've got a tick under 700 sq ft to heat, but it's a choppy set up without good insulation and a lot of glass (the 1750 is rated from either 1200 or 1500 to about 2000 sw ft). Since you're looking at a lower burn time and it's an unfinished space I'm saying the 1250 would be adequete.
