Hi,
I’m new to hearth.com and also to wood-burning inserts, but have been researching diligently, and have been to a number of dealers and need some advice from you guys! We have an old, poorly insulated, oil-heated house in New York, 2000 sq feet. The downstairs is about 1250 sq feet, very open, and the fireplace is about ten feet from the staircase leading upstairs--so open air flow. We are also gradually insulating, changing the windows, etc. so that in three or four years time, I think we’ll be fully updated in that respect. We are looking for a better heating system than switching to natural gas (our only choice currently) so we are very interested in supplementing our heat with the insert. My husband cares about looks and likes contemporary design--hence the Morso. But i’m hearing mixed things about the Morso (mostly from dealers who don’t sell it!) and the discussion board here seems to pretty universally like the Jotuls. Does anyone have an opinion? thanks
