old wood stove change

[dan_s2k]

hi guys

new here from quebec canada.

right now i have a old slow combustion wood stove. its burn a lot of wood and dont stay on more than a couple of hour.

i want to change it with a new epa stove

just to be sure my house is 35 feet by 45 feet. the basement is finished ant the sove is situed in the basement, i saw on a web site a rule that said the (sqft/2)+sqft and add 25% to the total . so it would give me 2900 foot sq o you think it's a good rule ?

if yes n my small town i find 1 dealer ou sell pacific energy (i would look for the summit) and napoleon(1900) and the other one sell osbrun(24000)

wich one would be the better choice i'm a little loosed with all the spec

thank

Dany

Never heard that rule, I think everyone just goes by actual square footage. The 1900 nappy would do a great job heating that space, but you might even get away with a 1400 to be honest. But I am just guessing. I am running a 1400 right now and it does a great job heating this old drafty 2 story farm house with a little propane back up. I am looking at burning 4 bush cord for this winter season. That should take me to June to give you an idea. How much wood are you burning right now per season?

Salut Dan!

Welcome to the forums!

First thing: wood stoves are space heaters. So depending on your house setup, you may have a hard time heating an entire 2 floors with a wood stove. You'll need to have good air movement (fans?) and a decent open concept to encourage air flow. If you really intend on heating the basement and the main floor of the house with a wood stove be prepared to cook yourself out of your room where the stove is located. Why do I say this? Because it is my exact setup. My house is 1300 sq ft and my stove is located in the basement. It gets damn toasty in the basement family room (where the stove is located) when I put in a full load to help heat the rest of the house. That being said, my stove is 12 feet from my staircase and the heat rises nicely.

Lots of stoves will do the trick. What is your budget? Do you have a chimney? Class A? Liner?

The 3 stoves you listed are great stoves. My question is this: how dry is your wood? How long have you had it split/cut/stacked? EPA stoves don't like wet wood whatsoever. Poor wood will lead to poor stove operation which gives very frustrated/disapointed customers.

Encore une fois, bienvenue!

that's why I suggested the roby it has a place to connect pipes so that you can connect to vents to push the air upstairs

 

[begreen]

If the goal is to heat the house and both floors are 45 x 35 with 8' ceilings then I come up with 3,150 sq ft.. If the stove will be in the basement, how will heat get upstairs? Is there a large, open stairway to the main floor? Will the stove be close to this open stairway?
If yes, then the Summit or 1900 should do the job for most weather. When it is very cold the primary heat may still come on.

 

[Thislilfishy]

Ah, I misread, I had a single story ranch in mind. So what begreen said then!

[dan_s2k]

On the first floor i have a pacific energy gas fireplace ans a couple of convrctaire

The stairway is situated un front of the stoves and it had a grill on top of the stove. I have a air exchanger set to recerculation.

I burn aproximatly 10 (i dont know the word in english sorry) of wood

Brad i will had j a roby to my list i think homehardware can have it

 

[brad wilton]

bmr has it to payez $1700 avec tax

 

[Swedishchef]

If I were you I would try a summit or a 2400. Those stoves have great reputations and lots of people on the forum have them and can help you out with questions should you have any.

10 cords of wood..comme une corde. Ou cordon? C'est quoi les dimensions de ta pile de bois?

[dan_s2k]

nice i will chek more for these two stove and they are easy to find locally thank you very much

[dan_s2k]

so i just comeback from the osburn dealer and he show me the harman tl 2.0 and my god this stove is sexy + the cooking grill is cool as hell .anyone have one ??

he quote me 1700 tx in for a osburn 2300 and 1900 tx in for the 2400 but no one in stock

the closest P.E dealer is closed till march -__- so i will have to wait till the end of jaunary to go to the only other dealer in the area

 

[begreen]

Can you get an Enerzone 2.3? It is from the same parent company as Osburn.

 

[dan_s2k]

Yes but at the same dealer of Pacific energy and they are closes till march 16

My house is a raised ranch 35' wide and 52' long, I have a BK Princess in the basement (non insulated concrete block walls) it's 19deg out right now and 72 upstairs in our living space, My upstairs is insulated pretty good, I have 15" of insulation in the attic all the through, that helps a lot, my windows are double pain aluminum frame and are ok (very small air leaks) so far so good

Sorry for the post french lol i will stop now if someone have a review of the tl300 or the TL 2.6 . i didnt fond a lot of info about them

 

[brad wilton]

hi dan i would take the claim of heating 4300sqft with a big grain of sel tl300 looks nice check stove reviews section it might help

 

[Wildo]

If you want to post en francais go right ahead. Je suis multilingue.

 

[dan_s2k]

since i need parts for my fake subaru i made a stop at the p.e dealer . he quote me 2205+tx for the summit + need to add the fan and 1839+tx for the enerzon 3.4 with the fan includ and a stupid ash pan

 

[peakbagger]

Keep in mind, if you buy and EPA stove you need dry wood or it wont run very well. If you aren't willing to season you wood stick to an old fashion stove as they will still burn with wet wood.
