Narrowed our choice for a wood stove down to a Jotuf 500 Oslo in the brown enamel finish. It will be used for heating our new ranch style house which is 2,200 square feet. I doubt we will use it exclusively for our primary heat source in the beginning. But am sure the more comfortable we get with it the more we will use it. Please don't tell me to consider a pellet stove as we live smack in the middle of 42 acres of oakDoubt I would even have to cut down a live tree for at least 7-10 years as the contractor saved what he cleared out when the lot for the house and work shop was prepped.
Any one have experience with these stoves? Good, bad or in different?
