We have a new 1700 SF cape that has a place for a woodstove. We went all winter last year without one and I refuse to do another winter without a stove! We have baseboard heat upstairs with a separate control so I'm not too worried about heating the upstairs. I'd say the downstairs is 900 or so SF.
My questions - am I going to heat myself out of my dining room with the stove right there? It is about 4-5 feet from the table. How do I get the warm air circulating to rooms on the otherside of the stairwell?
I have my eye on the Jotul Castine. Thoughts?
