Hello. I'm looking for some Manufacturer recommendations for a wood stove.
Details:`
New construction house (2500sqft - will have tight insulation). Stove will be centrally located in great room (~12,000cubic feet). It will be supplemental heat to central furnace BUT will be used a lot (4-7days a week from November-April).
Fuel- seasoned hardwood
Climate zone 7a
Chimney: 6inch stove pipe x 24ft
Goals: Would like a fairly large fire box(2-3cu.ft), and a blower to help move the heat.
Not too worried about emmissions and I'd like to avoid the need for replacing parts for 'upkeep', so I don't think we want/need a catalytic converter style.
Other: We are currently in a small drafty old farmhouse that has franklin cast iron stove we use as the primary heat source. We have 3 years of experience with it.
There are several small/private stove dealers in our area in addition to an Ace hardware (Pleasant hearth), Lowes/homedepot/tractor supply. For the smaller places I see they carry: Enzone, grandview, supreme novo, blaze king, lopi, pacific energy, jotul,....I've only looked into two of these smaller stores so far.
Budget is not strict but I think I'd like to stay under $2k. I could be convinced to spend more if needed
Any guidance on what brands to look at? This is our forever home and we have over a 100acres of woods from which to harvest firewood, so it will be used decades and decades most likely.
