I own a vacation rental property that I rent out multiple times a year, typically 2-3 nights at a time. I'm looking to purchase a free standing gas stove that is safe and very easy to operate. No natural gas is available in the area so I would be running it off of propane. The home is heated with electric baseboard. The fireplace would be used for supplemental heat and ambiance.
Thank you.
 
How many square feet do you need supplemental heat for?
Better yet, how many square feet do you need to heat if the power goes out?
How old & how well insulated is the home?
