Size is about 40 inches x 52 inches
Here is my set up. I have a small wood stove. It came with the house. I am not even sure what kind it is. There are no labels, or signs or tags to even tell me. As you can tell by my inexperience, I can't even recognize it by look to even guess the brand.
The problem is that its small. I can fit 17 inch pieces, it only burns about 5 or 6 hours. Not a long burn or all night. It has a hard time keeping up with the winter as well. I have a decent wood supplier who really hates cutting my "nuggets" of wood. So what I was looking for was a bigger stove with a bigger fire box, and warming ability.
I have chosen the drolet myriad, because of price and size. And no one has really said anything bad about them. Atleast what I can find online. I have found little about their burn time, but have read that you get a decent bang for your buck out of drolet stoves.
On of the most important things is that it will fit on my stove area.

I guess what I am looking for is for someone experienced, tell me if I am making a bad choice?? And what could be done better?
Its a rather longer term investment, and I want to make a good choice.
I need a longer burn time, and be able to take larger pieces of wood, and a decent ability to heat my cape. Multi level house. Bed rooms upstairs.
