I have to replace an older valley comfort circulatory style wood stove.
Its located in the basement of a partially finished, 1800 sq ft drafty house, in a cold climate.
There has always been a stove of this type in the house and when frequently loaded with a lot of wood can heat it.
I want to move to a more efficient style of stove like a radiant type, to burn less wood and have longer burn times.
Will a radiant style stove like a drolet or a century do the job or should I stick with the circulatory style?
My concern is heat distribution throughout the drafty house.
