ChoppingAccountant said:Thanks for the welcome PapaDave, I stumbled onto the site when I first started researching stoves. I learned a lot lurking around and reading about other peoples experiences. As a quick side note, a lot of my extended family spread out between Manistee and TC on the west side of MI.
As for my house, I last fall I purchased a 1450 sq ft bi-level. The stove is in the basement which is 2/3rds above grade. There is a open stairwell between the two levels that I am hopeful and expecting to move most of the heat upstairs. The stove kind of blows in the direction of the stairs. I think the 4300 is a little oversized for the size house in this climate but the house is not sealed the best and with it in the basement, I wanted to error on the too big side. I figure I can always build smaller fires if I have to. Anything in particular you would like a pic of? Below is a link to a prior post that has a pic of the whole house.

The stove would be in the on the far right side of the house.
