Hi there!
Been looking at a new stove for my house and I like the PE but not sure what size I need so looking for opinions.
House is roughly 2800 square ft but it is a "berm house" bottom floor is a walk in basement more or less.
Heats fairly easily with an old Nashua (made in 1978) unless its well below zero F and wind is out of South and then we pour the
coals to her with the big pieces of Oak.
I let the wood burner go out at night (if conditions are right) and wake up to a 62 degree house with a stone cold stove, will have to burn the new stove in a differant way I am sure, and that is with only a few pieces of wood when I go to bed.
I can not find the actual dim. of the PE fire boxes just the cubic Ft but 2 cubic Ft for the Spectrum sounds small to me.
I told the dealer about how the house heats and he thought the Summit might be too big and may not be able to burn it correctly.
Only source of heat right now (been that way for 30 years) so do not want a too small of stove but do ot want one I can not burn correctly either.
Any thoughts about this and what is the door size of the Summin and Spectrum and the actucal size of the fire box on both, LxWXH
Thanks
