Hello, Im new to the forum and new to wood burning stoves as well. I bought a house last october that had a wood stove in it (Scandia 308.)
I remodeled in the spring time and had to take it out. Im throwing around the idea of just buying a new one and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions.
The only stove store I went to was called Stoneworks in Medford NJ. They wanted to sell me the avalon pendleton stove. Installed they wanted around 3700.00. It seemed a bit expensive considering the stove is only 1800.00 from that particular store. I found much lower prices for the stove alone online. It heats a house from 600- 1200 sq feet.
I've read reviews online for that stove and have heard that it doesnt continually burn overnight. It only has a 1.3 cubic foot space. Should I be worried that it wont heat my house enough?
My house is only 1100 sq feet. Its a rancher with only 1 occupied bedroom.
Another person recommended the Osburn 1100. It has very similar specs, with a 1.5 cubic foot space.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if I can handle the install myself. I'm a carpenter by trade and I have family members that are also in construction. Any advice on that would also be great.
Thanks a lot!!
