Hi, I have decided to put an offer in on a house that has more privacy and land. The new house has a Heatilator fireplace as you can see in the picture. I need some options for installing something that will heat the house at 2100 sq ft. Could a Jotul Oslo be installed in front of the current fireplace if I extended the hearth with a hearth pad and run the pipe up the current flu? This house was built only 2 years ago. The is not a masonry chimney, only a pipe going up behind the wall and out the roof. Any other suggestions? Would the current Heatilator be just for looks or would it actually heat? I seem to think that it would be very inefficent.
Also, would a hearthstone homestead work here and possibly look better?
Thanks.
