Stove on second floor

[ironworker]

I have a two story 3200 sq. ft. Center hall colonial with a bonus room over the garage and would like to install a second stove in this room, something small. I have an insert downstairs and it does a good job of heating my home, only needing to fire up the boiler a couple of times a year. The bonus room only gets up to about 62 degrees and I would like to spend more time in there. My concern is will it effect the draft and will it get too hot.

What is the bonus room size? Approximately how tall would the chimney be?

Bonus room is 13x26 with two 5x5 dormers and the chimney would probably be about 15' or what ever the stove guy thinks is best.

Sounds good. How tall is the ceiling? You should do fine with a smaller stove. If you are just going to burn nights and weekends something in the 1-1.5 cu ft range would be fine. If the weather is mild just build a smaller fire and let it burn out.
