I'm looking to upgrade my wood stove (cheapo us stove) with a real wood heating machine.
I'm debating a top end soapstone, maybe Woodstock Progress, or similar. Versus a high end wood furnace, looking at Kuuma Vaporfire.
My house is a ranch 1350sq. Ft. With full basement, that I also want heated. My full time furnace is heat pump.
I'd rather have heat without needing electric. Not sure if I can use a woodstove to heat as a primary source?
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask such a question? Really just need advice about heating my whole house with a woodstove and keeping it somewhat even throughout.
My Dad has a new Buck insert I don't like, needs fed constantly, but lots of heat.
Not looking to start a "who's got the best stove" thread. Just discuss stove vs furnace.
I'll sum it up saying, I love wood heat, and I want more.
Thanks for any available help
