I have a summers heat stove rated for *up to* 1000sq ft. Thats the catch. My house is a little over 1000 sq ft but is an old farmhouse with no insulation. I dont have the money or time to insulate the house any time soon but I should have enough of both to buy a used wood stove capable of a larger house. Plus the capacity of the summers heat is just a joke. I never even used the ashpan. I had too many ashes for it within a couple hours of burning wood usually
I saw a Lopi 520 with double doors for sale for $400. Opinions on this stove? A guy I work with has a liberty with catalytic converter and he thinks it's great. This looks to have the same square footage rating as the liberty but no catalytic converter.
Can a blower be added to this stove? The owner said it currently doesnt have one but they think it can be added on. Can a blower be found for this and if so will it cost just as much as a replacement for a current lopi model or will it be super expensive because its been discontinued?
Either that or I see a used wonderwood for $150 or an Ashley brand wonderwood for $250. I hear there is a signifigant difference in between those two as far as quality, and a guy that has owned both said the Ashley actually outperformed the wonderwood and was sad he got rid of the ashley
Can a blower be added to either of these?
If you were to choose from those three what would be the best choice? I want to take advantage of these low prices during summer and have plenty of time to install my stove and have it ready for fall
Thanks
