Hi,
I am looking to heat my new house with wood. I have heated with wood at my dads shop so i know what that intells. My house is 2400 sf split level so 1200 up and down. The stove will sit in the finished basement close to the stairwell. I have been looking at the vogelzang performer at the local sutherlands and it seems to fit my bill. I have seen lots about there bad rap but have also seen that there epa stoves seem to be reputable. My question is has anyone had good or bad luck and is there something better i should be buying. Also how well is a setup such as this gonna do as far as heating the biggest part of the upstairs. I have been told that i should cut some holes in the floor and install some register coves for heat to rise from the basment instead of the heat traviling up the stairwell alone. Thanks.
