Ive been messaging back and forth a little with coaly discussing Fishers. I like Fisher especially Honey Bears, but they arent common in my area. However Ive been really wanting to share exactly what Ive got in hearth and get your expert/experienced opinions on what I can do with other models including a Fisher. Safety is first, funds are second. I plan to use income tax refund money and invest it to get us warmer next winter. My intentions are to keep us comfy ESPECIALLY in the event of a power outage along with a means of cooking and having hot water. I have a good generator but dont want the hastle or expense of gasoline for more than about 4 hours should I need it. And we are fine with that. "We" consists of the wife and a 2 and 4 yr old girls. There was a rough below freezing period of 3 days last winter that we suffered using the fireplace to cook and keep warm with. Im looking to buy used btw and save money there. But Ive got to do this right otherwise as you know, its not worth doing. Ive had a house burn down and got burned up trying to save it and Im not going through that again I assure you.
Here are the dimensions and a few pics up the chimney to help you help me. My fireplace is...
H 39 inches
W 29 inches
But the firebrick on the rear of it tapers
At the bottom it measures 23 inches deep
At the middle it measures 21 deep
At the top it measures 18 deep
I really want a glass door to see the fire since its in the living room. I want a blower, but would add an ecofan if thats what it took to distribute the heat throughout the 3 bedroom house. It would be blowing toward the hallway where the rooms are btw. I just measured our upstairs living are and not including closets and the bathroom I came up with 944 sf. So its safe to say 1000 sf right?
Coaly, please chime in and thanks to you and all that share this priceless knowledge at no cost to members. Youre all good people. Any questions please ask.
