I'm trying to cut back on oil costs for home heating. The house is a ranch style. 975 square feet. Central living room running from the front to back of house. Two bedrooms and a bath on one side of the living room and a kitchen and another bed on the other. The living room is 20 feet from front to back and 15 feet wide. This room has a fireplace on the back wall of this living room. So, a 300 square foot living room.
I'd like to put a small stove on the fireplace hearth and run an insulated stainless chimney liner up the approximately 15' fireplace chimney.
In the long run a no muss no fuss stove would be best. One that minimizes smoke in the living area, is easy to load and clean ashes, one that does not overheat the house, offers a good view of the fire and has glass that stays relatively clean. A long heating time and outside air adapter would also be nice. By the way, how is the outside air connected to the stove?
Greatly appreciate your help!
