Well, I'm narrowing down which stove is best for us. Last night I measured the square footage of the first floor in our split foyer, it's 750 sq. ft. The stove will be centrally located on that floor. I'm hoping the heat will rise up the very open stairway to the second floor living room and help heat it, it's 550 sq ft (averaging 9 1/2 foot ceiling.) The rest of the house is divided by a small hallway and little heat will move to it I'm guessing, so I'm not counting it in the square footage estimates. It's about 450 more sq ft. though.
Would the Pacific Energy Spectrum be the right size for this set up? The firebox is right around 2 cu ft. A little on the small side? (The house was built in 1993, so fairly well insulated. We live in central Iowa.) Thanks for your help everyone!
