Hi guy and gals. I'm new here and hope I'm in the right forum. I live in Eagle River, Alaska. After much research, many YouTube videos and visiting every wood stove company in Eagle River and Anchorage, I have decided to go with a Blaze King wood stove.
My home is, 1227 sq ft. Living/kitchen area, 1 bedroom, 1 bath and a laundry/boiler room. This stove will be for Backup heat in emergencies (earthquakes and such thing that could interrupt our natural gas supply). It will also occasionally just because we want a fire. And last but not least when we have -20 f weather my hot water baseboard system struggles to get the house above 70 f, we like 75-78 f.
Our winter weather during the time I would fire up the stove ranges 20 f to -20f. The house is of 2x6 construction. The living/kitchen area is 713 sq ft. with 2 36 inch glass doors and 3 5x5 windows. The window are double pane. Ceiling height throughout is 8 feet.
My wood supply is Alaskan Birch Spruce and Beetle Kill Spruce.
Now my question. Which Blaze stove? Size wise. I've been looking at the BK Princess 32, but afraid it might be too big.
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
