Ok, first post here, been burning wood most of my adult life .We did a remodel on our house bout a year ago and stupidly neglected to incorporate a wood burning something!! After about $1800 worth of propane burned up last year we are going to add one now!
So here is where I am, looking to put something in the living room, If I go zero clearance I can stick it in the wall due to the large walk in closet behind it I can build the chase in. Smallish house about 2000 sq ft total, only need to heat about half of that, 3 bedrooms are unused except on occasion, the master can be cool cause that's the best for sleeping which leaves the living room and adjoining kitchen. We do not have lots of space which is why we are not just going to put in a wood burning freestanding stove which obviously be the easiest way to do this.
So I've started looking and most of these things are huge, found a couple smaller ones but maybe you guys know of others, QUALITY is my next concern, Superior has a smaller one but I know nothing about them.
Another thought would be to build an alcove in that same wall, tile the inside of it and put in a little woodburner, so you guys have ant thoughts?
I looked into a outdoor wood furnace but that's just getting stupid expensive, I'd like to stay in that $3-4k range for the stove and chimney if possible (not including the price of the chase)
