Hello All,
I am not new to wood burning for heat. My father had a Vermont Castings back in the 70's that we heated with exclusively. As the only male child I had the task of Chopping/Splitting/Stacking every stick we burnt. Plus the old man made me start a fire on Thanksgiving and it couldn't go out until sometime in March.
However I am new to inserts. I have an 1800 sq ft Dutch Colonial and a beautiful fireplace wtih a raised hearth. I am in the market for a wood burning insert that will be supplementary heat. I would like to buy something that looks nice and throws off some heat. I have looked at the Jotul Kennebec and some of the Regency products. However I am open to anything.
My fireplace opening is an arch if that matters
Can someone point me in the right direction based on experience.
