Hello all. New to the site. I've been looking around and it looks very informative. After a few searches and still no answer (might be me) I have a couple of questions. I will be burning hardwood, mostly oak, in a small house, 545 sqft, ( hopefully inside a stove). I would like to use it as my main heat. Do you thing a small stove will burn all night (one rated to heat 1200sqft)? Also what would you recommend to be the wallboard for behind the stove? I have about 14" clearance and would like to brick vaneer behind the stove. I am trying to stay away from a plate. Any suggestions would be helpful.
