2800sf house, this will be installed in the greater kitchen area that would maybe be a small dining room that joins the kitchen by an open wall, and adjacent to the master bedroom. I would be happy with a high heat output unit esp if it comes in an enamel finish. The 16.5 heater makes a dent but it's a dent, I want to potentially be able to heat the house with it or at least keep it from freezing through in the winter if electricity goes out. 40K would be nice, 30K would be very good, 20K and why bother really.
The spot already has gas run there and already has a vent. I have a cousin who offered to do the walls, and I would ideally like a red enamel stove to put in a brick hearth with brown, yellow, orange, and red brick for a very autumn look, it's going to be so gorgeous through these big quadruple glass doors looking out to a deciduous woods that stretches as far as you can see.
I appreciate beauty.
What would you put there?
