Hey there-
Glad to find heath.com and the forum. I'm from northern Minnesota and a Pacific Energy Summit owner since around 2001. We use it as a primary heat source and supplement it with the furnace during the heart of winter. We have a large, multi-level, home that has had various additions going different directions over the years. There's a part of the house that is typically 10 degrees or more colder than the rest of the house, where the Summit heat doesn't reach. We're content at about 64 degrees in winter. So that means it's in the lower 50's in the cold part of the house.
With the price of electric heat and lp, we're considering purchasing another wood stove for that cold part of our home... which consists of about 800 sqf. There really isn't much option for installing it anywhere else but in a corner because of the size of the living room and layout.
All this to say, we are wondering if any of you know of a good stove that has great corner tolerances so we can tuck the stove in as close to the corner as possible? A higher BTU rated stove would be fine as the heat would travel upward into one of the additions and supplement what the Summit is producing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Kent

I've been looking around tonight on the net and haven't been able to a lot with the close clearance that I'm looking for. The PE would work and perhaps the True North. We don't have a lot of room to work with in the corner we would install in. The Englanders and Drolets seem to need a lot of clearance. Any other stoves you can think of? I've got a learning to curve to overcome. I'll do some more poking around.
