Hi..haven't been here in a while..but still enjoying the stove I put in a few years ago..toasty in here right now.
This forum was a GREAT help in figuring out my last install, but I have a different application in mind this time.
I have a friend with a small barn, 1000 sq ft with a dormer-style roof. It's new stick-built, walls are insulated, but the building isn't insulated or air tight to a new home standard. Sits on a concrete foundation/floor. The building is in the UP Mich.
Can anyone offer any suggestions (make/model) on a good reasonably efficient free-standing wood stove to install in the barn? Inexpensive, used, good quality, no frills or high end finishes really needed(though if they go along for the ride..it's fine), not a smoking dragon.
There are no animals, but there may be a shop, working area, and there is a greenhouse in one section. I'm guessing a bit oversized(?) at ~70kbtu wouldn't be much of an issue as the building has more leaks than a home. This will be a fire the stove while you're in there & no heat while you're not application.
thx..
