So, I've had my eyes on the T6 for quite a while now and took my wife in to check it out. While there are many features of this stove I love, the most important one for me is that it's more convective in nature. It seems the general consensus on here is that a convective stove works best for a floor plan that's chopped up, which mine is. Also, I think I read somewhere on here that the surface temps on the T6 aren't as high as the Summit. Generally speaking, would most agree that the surface temps on the T6 would be considerably less than the Summit? My wife really took a liking to the Summit Classic but she's afraid it will "melt her face off". She prefers the porcelain look of this stove over the more utilitarian look of the T6, plus she thinks the T6 is "too big" for the room (17x13). I've got about 1800 sq ft, 900 main floor and 900 second floor that I will be heating. 9' ceilings, moderate insulation and original windows in my 100+ year old Victorian. Would the T5 do the job as a primary heat source? Would the Summit Classic melt my wife's face off? That's not what I'm going for. Thanks in advance.
