Hello. I would love some advice from all of you wood stove experts. We are building an A-Frame in the southern UT mountains. The wood-burning stove will be in a corner of the main great room. Total square footage for the main floor and loft area upstairs will be 1800sqft. I like the Blaze King Princess (many seem to recommend that one) but am wondering if it is too big for the space. The main floor great room has a ceiling height of 30ft though. It’s pretty big and open in the great room.
This is a second home used in the spring, summer and fall. It will be heated by electric through the winter while we aren’t there. The lowest lows during the time we will be there will be in the 20s and 30s but summertime lows are in the 50s. The available wood will be mostly Aspen and some pine.
We do have an electric heater for the main level and a few baseboard heaters in the loft but would prefer to use the wood stove as our main heat source as much as possible.
I just want to try to pick a stove that will be able to maintain a consistent temp of around 67 degrees as efficiently as possible. Any advice for me as a newbie?? Thank you so much!!
*Not completely tied to Blaze King. I’ve just chosen it based on recommendations.
