Hi all. I'm planning to remove one room in my house (2 walls) which will completely open up my floorplan. I'm then planning to put a new woodstove (still researching) pretty much right in the middle of the house with the stove pipe coming straight out of the top of the stove and into a stainless class A chimney which will go straight up through the ceiling, attic, and through the roof. Our house is pretty small - 1200 sq. ft. with really only about 1000 sq ft. of it 'living space' - so I can't have some big conglomeration of clutter right in the middle of the house - but I think the stove itself will look pretty sweet and function beautifully in such a location.
I'm trying to get ideas about how to 'set up' the general stove area, i.e. where do i put or how do i arrange all the stuff associated with wood burning, like the stack of newspapers, kindling, gloves, poker, etc.
So, I was wondering if those of you who have your stove situated right in the middle of a living space could share some pictures of how you have set up this area.
Maybe all the 'stuff' will have to live somewhere else, not as close to the stove as it is now, but I'd like to see what you guys have come up with.
Thanks!
