hi everyone new to the site.
have been reading alot of good info.
on to the topic .... i live in northern maine where it can get very cold -30 is not out of the norm.
just bought a house and it has force hot air furnace which works fine but want the good ol wood heat back that i love.
the house...672 sqft. ranch style home with open LR to kitchen and bedroom off of LR , about 12 foot ceiling in LR with fan.
new windows pretty well insulated, and plan to add more to attic space. 1970's build.
so my thoughts have been on the jotul 602 or VC aspen at this time.
with only 672 sqft. its not much to heat and i dont have much space for any big hearth setup. so the more compact the better.
would like the stove to provide as much of the heating as possible for the home ,but have the furnace as a back up.
so any input on my setup would be helpfull ,
thanks
mike
