Firebox is 1.4 Cu. ft. & takes a 16" log...
While you don't NEED a blower, it'll get the heat farther into the room, before the warm air rises...If your power goes out, it'll still throw out 55K BTU...
The Timberline Brown Porcelain Enamel is a nice finish, but if you accidently bang it with a hard object - poker, shovel, rake, whatever...You WILL chip the finish. The good thing is that the brown is really dark & the cast iron substrate is not that obvious, if you DO chip it......
The area you intend to heat - 1150 sq ft is entirely possible, IF you have adequate insulation & your living space isn't broken up into a bunch of smaller rooms...
Heat doesn't like to move sideways...
HTH
good information! how is that 1.4 cubic feet layed out? 16 inches by width by height? anybody know? they don't publish that info as far as i can tell! thanks

Well, it's supposed to be the height x width x depth, & the number I gave you (1.4 cu ft) is right out of the brochure..
I just measured the firebox & I get 18 x 12 x 9.375 = 2025 cu in / 1728 = 1.17 cu ft.
My guess is that they're made in Canada & it must have something to do with the exchange rate!
