Hi Folks,
I am working on purchasing a freestanding wood stove through one of the few local dealers in my area. I have narrowed in on an Enerzone solution freestanding stove to put in my existing fireplace. The store has a few models that have been hanging around in the shop and have offered deep discounts. I originally had my eye on the Solution 1.8 which has a 1.8 cu ft firebox. However I learned it sold before I could put in a deposit. They also have a Solution 2.9 for sale which oddly has a 2.5 cu ft fire box.
My question is, will a 2.5 cu ft firebox cook me out of my house? I worry the larger firebox may make the room it's in too hot. I plan to use this primarily as supplemental heat for our natural gas boiler for our main floor living room kitchen/dining and would consider it a bonus to heat the bedrooms upstairs but not completely necessary. The stove will be installed in our existing fireplace on the main floor living room/kitchen/dining room which is about 650 sq ft and has 10 ft catherdral ceilings. I live in upstate NY (1 hr from Montreal) so cold winters, in a 1600 sq ft split level house built in the 1970s with decent insulation for that era.
Any thoughts on firebox size welcomed!
