Hello,
I have been doing alot of reading and have ended up more confused than where i started. At this point i feel that a free standing stove would be best. One immediate question i have is that many stoves have a blower in the back. With this stove going into an existing masonry fireplace, wont this be an issue??
Pics to the fireplace are attached.
Here are the fireplace dimensions: Height: 32"; Depth - 18" in the fireplace itself, 35" to the wood floor. Length: 24" at the back of the fireplace, 36" at the entrance.
I am a buy once cry once type of guy. I am looking for a "no-frills option" and the "dream option" for comparison purposes. The house is 2700 sq ft, but all of it doesnt need to be heated. I also dont want to waste space with a small stove. It only needs to heat, no cooking needed.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
