I would go with a medium sized catalytic stove like blaze king or Woodstock soapstone. That way she has plenty of capacity for an overnight load but can turn it down for a low slow burn. Small short burns with a small non catalytic stove in that climate could be frustrating.

This is a masonry fireplace opening? With that little room is she going to want a stove over a insert?

24/7 heat and "small" stove are hard to mesh. Definitely want to consider catalytic stoves IMO. Woodstock, Hearthstone, Blazeking Regency, and Buck to start with. Your fireplace dimensions and chimney will dictate a lot here. Details will help us point you in a better direction.

If this is to replace the fireplace completely, in Quebec I would also look at locally made stoves from Napoleon like the 1400 series and Drolet. Other Canadian stoves like the PE Super and the Enviro Kodiak 1200 would be good, especially if the chimney will be on the shorter side.

It's not a masonary fireplace so i dont think insert would work ,from what ive read here could be mistaken probably be a gut if insert cant be used

Need to know what is meant by change the fireplace. If heatilator it could be ok for an insert, but we would need dimensions. Pics are always welcome.
