Looked at stoves today in person and got more confused. The area I am going to heat is 1200 square feet. From the specs a F 3 CB would be the correct size. However that thing is dinky and would look like a lunch box in the corner. Since we live in Florida I'm afraid that if we get a larger stove we won't be able to burn it hot enough to keep it cleaned out. Wondering what kind of problems I could expect if any.
Wife really wants double doors which is why I threw the Encore and F600 in the bunch. From what I read here people prefer the Jotuls to the VCs. This will be a corner install and the Encore has very large corner clearances. Any other stoves we should look at? Jotul and VC is all this dealer had. Difficult to find in Fl.
I want to leave the walls unshielded.
Really want to be able to burn with doors open.
Single door not really a deal breaker.
Like the top load idea, however I have never used one and not a deal breaker either.
Thanks
