It is getting late in summer and we have a cool evening, okay not really cool enough to start a fire but cool enough to be dreaming about firing up the stove.
With that in mind I am doing some measuring and figuring as I aim for the day when I can upgrade our simple little stove in the basement.
Given the dimensions of the area of our current install I would like to find stove models that are 26 inches wide or less, depth can be as deep as it needs to be as we can trim back more of the laminate flooring to allow for more clearance.
If we can stay under 25 inches wide it would be very good.
We are heating 1370 square feet in the basement and 1370 square feet on the main level. So for simplicity's sake let's call it 2800 total.
Our eventual hope is to install an insert in the fireplace upstairs but I know that for the same dollars a person can get way more stove than insert.
Fire away hearth.com forum members with your suggestions. If I am dreaming then price is no object.... Once I get the suggestions then reality might have to set it
