Which one..

[knotdodger]

I have a 1400 sf. house . One level. Stove will be close to the center. I found what I
think is a good price on a couple stoves. Hearthstone Shelbourne 2.0 cu ft. firebox. Matte black.
Two hundred more for enamel.
The other stove is a Hearthstone Bennington 2.3 cu ft. firebox say's it will heat up to 2200 st.
I just dont want to be under stoved. Is it better to be over stoved????? hehe
Thanks alot for any input.

At 2.0 vs. 2.3 cu.ft. they are pretty close to the same size.
Buy whichever one looks the best, since it'll be on the main level and you'll have to look @ it everyday.

How well is your house insulated?
Does it have decent windows? Doors?

After seeing both stoves, I would have to say I would go for the Bennington.

Go for the Bennington, you will love the side loading.

As long as you are looking at Hearthstone, you definitely should take a good hard look at the Woodstock Fireview. It has a 2.0 cu. ft. firebox and is a beautiful stove. We were amazed with ours as it cut our wood usage almost in half and we stay a lot warmer too!

I have to agree with Dennis. If I were looking for a stove in this size range, the WS Fireview would probably be my first choice.

Go bigger then you think you need! You will be happy you did for the longer burns!
