Now the enviable question - what else should I be looking at?
Jøtul Morsø
BTU 55K 38K
Area 1600 1300 (square feet)
Eff. % 73 75 (+?)
Weight 375 309 (pounds)
Log length 20" 16"
warranty 5yr 10yr
Cubic Ft ?? 1.0+
Both have 6' flues, ash pans(not important to me), top vents(VERY important) and are non-catalytic (secondary air) (so-so important - on the fence about them both as far as catalytic converter vs secondary air)
This is in a 1919 ranch, 1 floor, not too open floor plan, just under 1,000 sq. feet. I am planning on a corner install on the inside supporting wall of the house, and the kitchen, in the living/dinning room area. The flue will be atleat 4' from the stove top to the support box (8' ceilings), about 7' in the attic, and another 4+' above the roof; all straight up-n-out. So most of the chimney will be inside, in a conditioned space.
Who else should I be looking into? I'm on Long Island, NY. There are 2 dealers close to me, besides Home Depot and Lowes. Neither carries Blaze King or Buck.
The D/W does not like the looks of : Avalon, Dutch West/Vermont Casting, Englander/Summers Heat, Hampton or Napoleon.
I would be willing to travel up to Ct/Ma or to NJ just to look at a stove that's not local. SHE did give me the nod on the Jøtul, but what else is out there?
Thanks all AGAIN!
P.S. We already have an "older" (double door) F-400 in the MIL's apartment (attached to the house). It is seldom/rarely gets used (less than a face cord a year) because of her asthma, heat conditions, and concern (paranoid) . I, personally, do NOT like the double door concept; especially on small stove such as this. That is one of the reasons I kicked out the Morsø 2110, and am leaning towards another "newer" Jøtul 400 with the single door.
