Hi guys. I'm new to the site although I've read many reviews and posts prior to this. I'm a relatively new homeowner. I own a 1000 sq ft ranch currently using electric heat. Obviously it's very inefficient an expensive so ive been looking for an alternate form of heating. I've got another 1000 sq ft of open basement (2000sq ft total heating) that would be great to throw a stove in. Brcause there is no form of heat in the basement the floors upstairs are really cold and occasionally the foundation in the basement frosts up. My wife if trying to convince me to buy a pellet stove bit I've been looking at a jotul Oslo. She's concerned about the smell of a stove. I think a wood stove would give off more radiant heat to keep the foundation from frosting up. Any suggestions or feedback??? Thanks
