Hi everyone,I have been reading post about the pacific energy woodstove for the last 3-4 days.The summit looks pretty interesting.
I have stop at the local distributor tonight to get some pricing and a bit of info on this stove.According to PE the stove i would need the spectrum ...up to 2000sq. ft.My house is 24x32 plus basement same size.
The sles rep. is telling me I should go with the summit.Like alot of members here Im thinking the same ...I radther do a small fire in this lager box then push the smaller box of the spectrum to much in Jan-Feb.Right now I have a Drolet contempro 2000 (Drolet is a popular brand here in Quebec).for heating up to 2000sq.ft.The way that my house is built I find that I have some cold spot so I will have to try to get that cold air moving.
I would be installing the PE in my basement that I have almost completely renovated.The stove would be in the den ,so I also want to be able to sit down and relax watching tv and that new stove without beeing to hot.
Heres a few pics of the set up in the basement.
I will be covering the walls with some cultured stone in a week or two.
This is a grill to let the warm/hot air upstairs.
You can see the grill on the kitchen floor.Since I have install this one ,the heat is alot better on the main floor.
This is my stair case .The heat has a hard time coming up this way.I was thinking about installing a fan to push the air down the stairs.That way the air would be forced down and bac up thru the grill in the kitchen.
this is the little hall that brings you to the stairs,right after the gallons of paint.
As Gunner had mentionned in a post (I know what you guys are going to tell me) dated 2006:
Tell me if I'm wrong but this is how I see it, the summit is only "hotter" because of the ability to load more wood, if I loaded it to the capacity of the spectrum it would heat like a spectrum right?I realize there is a slightly larger surface area on the summit to radiate heat but lets say you got 3 splits in the spectrum and 3 splits in the summit (imagine the wood is identical) you'd get the same amount of heat right?
My question is what would you fellow members recommend acording to your experiences?
I'm thinking summit but maybe I'm wrong.I want to decide within 2 weeks because PE have a 300$ rebate(free blower)
thanks and happy holidays to all
