Good Morning everyone.

We are looking to do some home renovating in the next year or so, and part of our plan is to add a small wood stove into our living area near the kitchen. Would like to make a cozy space where we can feel the heat and enjoy the ambiance of the fire.

Since the stove wouldn't be the primary Showbox jiofi.local.html tplinklogin source of heat, I am not worried about it burning all night long or anything along those lines, mostly just trying to fit it into a space that we have yet to create. Looking on the smaller end of the stove spectrum so it doesn't heat us out of the space, I'm leaning towards a Jotul F602 V2. That's just one of the names I was aware of, and they seem to be a pretty well known quantity, so to speak.

We are just starting the process of getting our plans together, so I wanted to see if there were any other stove recommendations that are in that same size/class. We would need to build some sort of a hearth, which is also up for discussion. For the chimney, its a straight vertical run off the top of the stove, and would probably look to go double wall inside for reduced clearances, and then triple wall after the ceiling box and onto the roof.

I haven't started talking to dealers or anything yet, but wanted to see if there were any others in the same class I should look at or be sure to avoid.

Thanks!
