I've been a long time lurker first time poster. I've had enough of my old slammer buck 2700 and the poor burn times and heat output. My fireplace has a large opening of 29.5“ height 48“ width and 45 inches deep from the back of the firebox to the edge of the stone hearth. My question is how well would the stove fit and how would the heat output be sitting partially in the fireplace. I would have to line my chimney with a new stainless liner. Just checking all my options before I make my mind up.(broken image removed)
 
Tight fit. I have the 30 in a 30 inch tall fireplace under the lintel and have the optional six inch legs. It comes with nine inch legs. Nine inch legs won't work, no way no how. And hooking up that liner was no fun. It looks like a lot of room until you figure the height of the flue collar and the top of the heat shield in the back of the stove. BTW: Beautiful fireplace you have there.

Here's a better picture of my chimney. The chimney it the whole focal point of my home. I'm just looking for the best heat output for the best dollar. I'd love to have 4k to spend on a blaze king princess , but it's just not in the cards anytime soon.

What color paint did you use here on your stove? It looks awesome with that black?
I know pictures are sometimes hard to tell, but it looks like it has a plum or mauve hue to it ...which is exactly what I'm after with my slate hearth.
 
Nice fireplace, crow. Chinked log walls, or faux? Age?

Is your fireplace lintel non-combustable?
 
It's real log and chinking, yellow pine. The house was built in 1983 by the man who lived here before me. He was a logger and cut the logs himself and had them squared at the sawmill which is right down the street here about 200 yards. The lintel is plate steel and the mantle is cherry.
 
It is Stove Bright Metallic Brown.
 
If you want an idea of the color, look at some Harman stoves at a stove shop. It is darker than the pic shows but the flash made it look lighter.
 
Nice fireplace! I'm wondering if this will fit an 8" liner for a big Buck (91 or 94) or Kuma Sequoia insert, without surround? What are the chimney inside dimensions? If not, maybe a BK Princess insert or a PE Summit? Are there ceiling fans to move the heat down from the high ceiling peak?
 
Yes there is a ceiling fan to move the air around. The dimensions of the fireplace are 48" wide in front 34"wide in back 29.5" inches high to lintel 28 " deep to the lintle 45" deep to the edge of the hearth.
 
Thank you. I'm just starting early looking at my options before this next burning season. I've been stuck on a blaze king princess, but I don't think I'm going to be able to swing that. I'll look at the jotul stoves.
 
Just the cost of it. We're coming from a buck 2700 and two years before that a hutch rebel insert, so about anything is nicer looking than those. I really liked the hutch rebel insert but it was full of cracks and had been overfired a few times. I just took the insert out of my fireplace about two weeks ago to clean it real good and by the huge cardboard box full of creosote I got out of the chimney I decided against putting it back in, I cleaned the chimney in December and only burnt two year seasoned red oak all winter.
 
I was leaning towards using the englander for a few years while I could save up some money for a better fitting and looking insert. I have two young kids and money just doesn't go very far nowadays.

Whatever you decide on; new stove or using the old one, you need to line the chimney first.
 
Just noticed that I didn't answer your question. This barn is 2,500 sq. ft.
 
Yep. Two story center hall colonial and my favorite way to sleep is under a sheet.
