Hey Guys,
new here. and we have a few questions hoping you guys can point is in the right direction....
We have a century old open concept house that is roughly 2000sqft. and we woudl like to upgrade our woodstove as soon as possible this season.
Due to the style of the house we would like to keep some character to teh wood stove of choice... and based on heat output and style we have narrowed it down to very likely one of the :
1) Hearthstone products;
a) Mansfield edition - BTU output should be appropriate for the size of the house
b) Equinox - the question wit this one is - woudl it be too much heat output for the house??
c) Phoenix - with the combination of the cast Iron and soapstone it sounds like an awesome stove.
2) Pacific Energy - Alderlea T5 - this is a nice looking 'rustic' looking Iron Wood Stove with a steel fire box for fast starts and has an output of 72,000 BTU. and the price is somewhat cheaper than the soapstone stoves.
b) T6 - this is an option as well - BUT is this one too much heat output??
we are not new to wood burning but would like to make the right choice for the house. Our current chimney is a 6" diameter so we would like to keep it the same as well of course.
any suggestions??
many thanks.
