Hi. I'm looking to upgrade to an EPA stove. I live in Chaplin, CT and currently run an older Nashua stove on the first floor of the house as the primary heat source for the house. I also have an older Warner stove in the basement that I generally only use on super cold days. The Nashua does a decent job of heating the entire house but with little insulation I fire up the Warner on the really cold windy days.
I'm looking into the Hearthstone Mansfield to possibly replace the Nashua but I checked the EPA list and it's not listed. (broken link removed to http://www.epa.gov/Compliance/resources/publications/monitoring/caa/woodstoves/certifiedwood.pdf)
What gives? I thought it was EPA certified. Maybe I'm reading something incorrectly. Also the BTU numbers and data from the EPA appear to be different from what Hearthstone provides. Which is more accurate? Any recommendations on stoves?
The house is a "ranch style" house about 1750 sq feet. I say style because it's an older 1928 house that has had several additions throughout the years. If I replace the Warner, I don't care if the new stove has glass or not, but when I replace the Nashua the replacement has to look nice and be functional.
The house has three chimneys and 5 flues total so there is plenty of room for the stoves. Right now the fireplace is used strictly for aesthetic purposes. I've been keeping my eyes open for used units but am somewhat leery.
Thanks Ian
