Greetings-
We are looking to replace our 30 year old steel wood stove. We are struggling with which wood stove to pick from, specifically the Hearthstone Shelburne or Phoenix. We live in a temperate climate here in Juneau, AK that typically hovers in the 20s to low 40s in the winter w/ of course colder stretches and our spring and fall temps are typically in the 40s. We are burning Sitka Spruce or alder.
The main room where the stove would be located is ~750sf, w/ tall 20'+ cathedral ceilings w/ ceiling fan, huge skylight, 3 exterior walls w/ lots of windows and a door (see attached pic). Open to this room on the second story is a tv room and behind that the master bedroom. Down the hall from the main room are 3 other bedrooms. The home is well insulated no drafts, windows are newer, and the stove would sit next to a 20' chimney. The entire home is ~2,200 sf.
We are concerned the Shelburne would not sufficiently heat our main room and that the Phoenix may be too much stove and over heat our upstairs. We also have been looking at the Pacific Energy Alderlea T5. Any advice on which stove would be a good fit for us would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
