I have been searching for woodstoves to replace mine as it's not nearly big enough to heat my house. Someone nearby is selling a Riteway Model 37 for about $75, which I figure is worth it for just about any stove especially working.
I found a copy of the spec sheet for the stove online but I am wondering...My house is aprox. 2200 sq ft. and the stove would be in the basement almost all the way on one end of the house. Does anyone know if this model stove would be able to heat that much space? Even if not all I just need it to be able to heat a majority of my upstairs since we don't really use the basement.
Also, since it seems to be an older stove, wasn't sure how efficentcy has changed over the years, would running a stove like that be worth the amount of wood it burns? or Should I just suck it up this year and save up for a newer stove?
Thanks for any help
