We bought an older home (1915 & a little drafty) about a year ago now. It was an old one room school house that has some add-ons in total about 2800 sq ft. The main room where the stove will be located is about 800 sq feet with three bedrooms above on the second level. The master bedroom (400 sq ft) is off of the main room, with the kitchen behind accessed via a narrow hall. I would love to heat the whole house with a good stove (if possible) but it is rather cut up. After much research, I decided that that Jotul 600 would probably be best, but my wife went to buy it and the salesman convinced her that it was too much stove for the space and that the Lopi Leyden would be a better deal ($3700 vs $2500) with install. We live about an hour west of Chicago, and are new to wood stoves. Any suggestions? Any thoughts on either or both of these stoves? Thanks in advance!
