I have spent many hours (too many) researching wood stoves and have narrowed it down to the Jotul. I'm getting information from different resources as to the stove that would fit best in my home.
It's a 1950's ranch of about 800sf, (23x35) insulated attic, uninsulated walls, original windows with storms added.
The stove will be on the west outside 23' wall about 10' in. This is the living room-- about 200sf (11'x18'.) There is a wall at about the 11' mark going 11' east, splitting the LR and kitchen with then a 5' opening for kitchen entrance. A 36sf hall and then two bedrooms make up the rest of the house on the east side.
I was originally thinking the 3 CB would be enough for heating but the negative comments of the ash pan and the information I read about buying bigger instead has gotten me confused.
Looking for advice.
Thanks,
denise
