Happy 4th to all.
I've read a bit here on the forum and the new user info. I am not here to ask for the least expensive way to purchase a stove, but advice on possibly some price ranges from those of you who have purchased the two stoves I have in mind. Also, I live in central North Carolina and am willing to travel a bit of a distance to purchase a new stove....whether it be over the state lines of VA/TN/SC a short distance if need be.
With that, I will explain my area to be heated. I am converting a stall barn, 12' x 24", [approx 300 sqft] a lean to roof line 7' up to 9'. Floor joists have been laid with sub-flooring down and floor was insulated. The walls and ceiling have blown-in insulation. Sheetrock will be installed over wall studs. I plan to use the steel chimney design through the ceiling/roof instead of going outside due to two little rooms that are winged off the main building that were used as tack rooms. The bulk of this project, i have been doing and will cointinue to do till it's finished.
The two stoves that I am thinking about are"
Jotul F 602 Little Giant $898.00
Morso 2B STandard $1000.00
I've checked one stove store in my area. Do the prices of these two stoves seem in the ball-park range? I can't afford them just yet, but in September, I should have enough with the knowing of the pipe and its expenses in addition to the stove purchase.
I have attached a couple of pictures of the outside wall [west facing], roof line and the spot where the stove will go inside. I have a support built under the area where the stove is going to go.
Thank you all in advance.
