Can't take photos, and not good at doing a floor plan, but here is my info:
Home is `1840 sq feet. It is a ranch with loft & cathedral ceiling.
Lr where insert would go is 20 x 17. House built in early 80's. Fairly well insulated. Fireplace on an inside wall. (bedroom behind fireplace) Stove probably will not be used around the clock. Pretty open floor plan - living room has cathedral ceiling, open loft upstairs, dining room attached to living room. (but no cathedral ceiling there) We have a ceiling fan in the Living room.
We've pretty much decided on a Jotul insert, but I'm a little worried that the Rockland would be too big. I do understand the concept of building smaller fires in a bigger stove, though.
Fireplace is decent size - front width, 36" Hearth to top of opening, 29", Hearth to bottom of Mantle, 59" Center Depth, 21" at the bottom.
Thoughts between the two models?
Also, Matt black is cheaper...any reason to go with the Blue Black Enamel?
TIA,

Lots of Firewood & great Husband to cut it!
