I have finally finished the brick and mantel with the surround. I drew a crappy sketch of the demensions. I have looked up what I think are solid options for me. I would definitely like a blower option. I also want to keep as much of the brick on the sides and above as possible. I will be checking out a few dealers this weekend. 3 enviro options I found. Kodiak, Venice, Boston 1200. The Venice shows trimable option for surround. Lopi answer and republic. Pacific energy vista(no dealers near RI). Regency classic, hamptom, and alterra. it is a 1600 Sq ft ranch. On picture is from the hearth facing out. The opening into the kitchen dining area is 5ft wide. 2 bed rooms in the back and one right to the left of the opening. Most of the house should receive heat. Any pros and cons to the stoves or better options? Thanks!
