Hi all. I didn't realize choosing a wood stove would take so much time and consideration. There are so many choices and tbh I've really enjoyed researching the different models and technologies.
I'm currently under construction, building a small cabin.
Location: BlueRidge mountains in the south east.
800 sq ft main floor with a 200 sq ft loft, stick build.
Living room & kitchen area is roughly 600 sq ft, ceiling height is 18.5 ft.
Blueprint calls for a wood burning stove in the center of the room; can't place it anywhere else, as it would impact furniture placement. Bedroom & loft space is walled off from the living room past the black wall (pic below). Due to the main living area being small, I didn't want a stove that would be overbearingly hot to sit in front of. Got some great advice and have boiled it down to either a BK Ashford 20.2 or a Hearthstone Heritage. Interested in hearing from the wood stove crowd what you'd choose for this space.
Thanks!
