Good morning all
Have a extended cape style house, with kitchen/family room that is roughly 600SF.....Currently heating house with a wood insert in living room, which is on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen/family room area. The insert keeps the house warm in all rooms but the kitchen area, have tried fans etc to push the wood heat around but in my opinion there is just not enough heat to go around.
Thinking of installing a small pellet stove in the family room, my wife stopped in the stove shop and the person working there thought that any size stove would be too big for the space and it would not be worth the trouble or expense to install...does that make sense to anybody? Seems like a nice small unit would heat the kitchen area and any excess heat would just spread through the house and we would not run the insert so hard?
Any advice?
Thanks
