It doesn't currently meet the new emission standards so without a major redesign it won't be around next year.I didn’t even think that would be an issue but I guess it’s a possibility. I hope they keep it. I love the design and it would fit great.
I am not a big fan of hearthstone. Look at Woodstock regency quadrature Pacific energy they all make quality products. And bk does have some stoves with character. Their ashfords are nice looking cast iron clad stoves. And they have the modern looking Chinook. What ever you choose I would look at a design that has been out for a while not a new one introduced recently for 2020. Some will still have bugs to work out. I know bk has some 2020 stoves that have been out for a while. And the regency pro line stuff has been proven pretty well. I am sure I missed some other good stoves those are just the ones that came to mind.Ohhh boy. That's not good. I'll look more into this and look at other options. I've heard BK are good stoves but I feel they lack character. Everything is a give and take I suppose.
I didn't say that Jotul will definitely not still make the F400. It is unknown right now. We are in transition as the new EPA regulations take effect. Jotul did come out with an updated version of the F500. Did you look at the Hampton H300? The Hearthstone Shelburne may work too.Ohhh boy. That's not good. I'll look more into this and look at other options. I've heard BK are good stoves but I feel they lack character. Everything is a give and take I suppose.
If you are going to be stuffing the stove back into the firebox you will not be gaining anything over an insert and may actually loose some heat.I'm planning now because I get on these kicks and really get into planning things but you have a good point about the stove situations. The hearth is flush with the floor. Inserts are cool but I think the radiant heat is better than the blowing fan? Any opinions on that?
I also didn't realize the turn over in inventory from year to year. I really want to buy one this year but I don't have wood and I'm planning a wedding so I feel it might be too much at once to get it in before the winter. I've always wanted to heat with wood in a house since I was a kid so Im just really excited about this.
Is this fireplace an internal one or is it on an exterior wall. If you stick a radiant stove in an external fireplace you will send allot of that heat into the masonry and much of that will go outside. You will then struggle trying to insulate and force the heat out of that firebox. Or you go with a convective stove and use a blower which will be hard to service because they are almost always on the back of the stove.Yeah I have considered that fact that putting it into the firebox that ill be losing its capabilities.... Worth a risk I think but I might change my mind.
In that case it may be worth trying. But it isn't going to heat like a freestander in the open. It will take much longer to feel allot of heat.The fireplace is an internal one.
Some inserts convect pretty well even when the blower is off. However, during cold spells you most likely are going to want a blower whether on a freestanding stove in the fireplace or an insert.Yeah I have considered that fact that putting it into the firebox that ill be losing its capabilities.... Worth a risk I think but I might change my mind.
If you are planning a rear vent with a tee behind it how do you plan on servicing it? Can you reach around the stove and drop the tee cap or will you need to pull the stove every year?This is going to be supplemental heat and ambiance for nights and weekends. The heat output is a plus though. And I think free standing will look better than an insert. Not and ideal set up but it’s a dream.
Yeah at that width you shouldThe fireplace opening is 48” wide so I think I’ll have enough room to reach back and drop the tee cap.
