Looking to replace a quadrafire 3100 from 1990. The stove came with the house and is not enough stove for the house. The house is 2400 sf with a large great room and three bedrooms upstairs. . The stove is perfectly centered in the house and close to the stairs so the heat has no problem going up the stairs. The 3100 only has a 2cf firebox and I constantly have to keep filling it. The stove really struggles to heat the house. We are looking at the joutil f600 Firelight and the f500 oslo. I really like the look of the Oslo and the side door is on the correct side for our install. The firelight has double doors which I don't care for and the side door is on the wrong side for us. We could use the side door but not as easy as with the Oslo. Both have a larger firebox size and prodice many more btu then the 3100. The 3100 is rated at 51000 btu vs 70,000 and 80,000 btu. Would the f500 work for us or should we go with the larger f600?
Thanks
