Friend of mine showed some interest in a new to him stove. He plans on heating about 1200sqft. He owns a duplex and rents the upper, lives in the lower and uses his basement alot but has a space heater for this area. With his come and go lifestyle I suggested maybe a pellet stove, for the convenience of timers and stuff. To my surprise he wanted wood.
I thought a nice cat stove would serve him well to get the longer burns for when he works and is out. Budget is always a factor and the chimney would be about 20-25ft with either 2 90's or a stove that vents from the back straight out to a T and then up.
we're looking for a solid economical cat stove stove with a good rep and ease of use. He said he didn't want it to be a primary heat source but I would rather he buys one that could be if he changes his mind.
He has a good advantage because the stove will go in the middle of his home with all rooms adjacent to the stove room.
Any suggestions??
