I'm new to wood stoves and to heating with wood in general. We have an 1900sqft farm house to heat and the propane bills are getting to be a killer. We've been looking at the nc30. Is that a good stove for a beginning wood burner? Both me and my wife work during the day, is this something I can get started and leave unattended for 8hrs or is that not possible? We would like to try and heat as much as possible with a woodstove.
My other dilemma is where to locate it in my living room, I've got room in both the corner and a side wall. Either location will require an outdoor chimney install. I've attached some pictures of trying to lay it out based on the stove requirements.
