Heating 1000 sq foot house with blaze king ashford. Work pretty well but rooms in the back can get cold on the very cold nights. Recently put in a basement by jacking existing home up. Its not insulated right now but I will do that once i sort out heating. I'm trying to figure out if I want to put a wood furnace down there and run ducts or simply put another freestanding stove down there. I'm gone for 10 hours Monday - Friday and no way to come back home. My stove keeps up with that pretty well upstairs. Its a blaze king ashford. I need similar reloading for the basement unless the heat will stay in the house long once furnace burns out. The furnace I can get it a Kerr Scotty. I'm in Newfoundland and its very popular here and no issue to get help or parts.
I dont have access to the basement from inside right now so for the next year or two i'll have to walk around which isnt a problem but something to consider. Would I get simalr burn times with a furnace as a blaze king? Loading only the furnace would be nice and keeping the stove only for cold nights as its easier to stock up wood down in the basement than in the wood box out front. If I run two stoves I'll have to reload both every day. I need heat throughout the days with three reloads on the coldest days at most. Any advice would be great. The prices are pretty much the same where I am as I have to run a chimney next to the existing one anyway so price a nominal consideration
