Good evening,
I am new to the forum and was hoping for some help. We are looking to install a wood stove insert into our current fireplace. We have narrowed down the make/model to the Osburn 3500, mainly due to the size fire box and square footage rating. Does anyone have any experience with this stove? I would also love other recommendations that may have similar ratings and cost less (if they are out there). Below is some information on our home:
- Built in 1991
- Standard ceiling height (8') and insulation
- Approximately 3000 square foot (1600 first floor, 1400 second floor)
- Chimney height and liner would be approximately 25'
I plan to install the stove myself and would love some input on what 6" chimney liners that others had success with. I have been looking at a 6" liner kit from Fireside Chimney Supply. The wood stove is located on one end of the house and we hope supplement most of our heat pumps with the stove. I have also attached a drawing/layout of the floor plan.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
