Hey all! New here !
I'm trying to decide on a stove. It's an old mill stove , that supposedly is BTU rated for 150,000 to 200,000 BTU- House at 10 to 12 hour run time and will heat a 3000 square-foot house.
This all sounds wonderful if it actually does what the seller is claiming. I would be using the stove as an insert in my masonry fireplace. The opening is 36 x 31 high. The fireplace is in my living room on the main floor. My home has a loop layout with the steps in the center of the house going to the second floor. There are three bedrooms on the 2 Nd floor floor and then an attic on 3rd floor . My whole house is set up with an old heavy radiator system- other than the attic. We refinish that after purchasing and installed electric baseboard heat.
The seller claims if I leave my bedroom doors open and fans on reverse the whole house will heat nicely with this one stove. My house is almost 3000 sq feet -excluding the 350 ft.² in the attic .
I am relatively new to the wood-burning stove world. I have always used a fireplace my entire life. Although about three years ago we were looking into wood-burning stove with a boiler hook ups that really tickled us, although we did not have the 2500 + bucks to shell out and once again we are in the same predicament.
Does anyone know about the stove? And is $900 a fair deal? I can't seem to find any comparable ones online. I was looking into boiler hook ups online as well and wondering if that is something I could hook onto this stove? Or if someone has a recommendation on a woodstove boiler hook up… that is my ultimate plan as my house is old , but solid ! and of course the windows are absolutely horrible! So firing up the oil heat is not really an option because it's just money out the window. Will use it if we need it on low - otherwise we burn wood in the fireplace and
Two years ago we build a rocket mass heater in the basement which actually has served us very well although does not warm up the house to feel toasty-- it merely removes the chill. We toyed with the idea of linking that into our loop although it seems kind of tricky and since it doesn't have a 12 hour burntime like a stove we thought that would be the smarter hook up anyway
