I purchased a napoleon wood stove insert 1101, heats 1500 square feet. I have 1600+ square feet that I will be trying to heat. Will this be big enough or should I have gotten a larger stove? I have a fully open floor plan. Great site by the way.

My house is easily heated by my 1100C. The house is very drafty (built 1782) and most of the windows are old. The house itself is around 1700 square feet. The stove is in the kitchen which is the lowest and draftiest part of the house. Running the stove yesterday for a few hours resulted in a downstairs temp of 77 and an upstairs temp of 72 or so. It heats like a beast.
Wow Bryan, that is quite the change from a few days ago. It's great to hear the stove is really cranking out the heat now.
It is doing much better. But I still think things could be better. i don't have the best draft out of the chimney and that could also have added to the problem with the baffles. But the stove throws a lot of heat. I am going to see if I can get the chimney extended another 3 feet or so.
