August 5, 20197 yr I was intrigued by these stoves but in a well insulated house (not in the artic circle) it won’t be lit often enough to warrant it. Some on this forum will tell you your house will over heat with a wood stove, my wood stove is only lit in very cold weather and is surrounded by a large brick fireplace which sucks the heat in and radiates heat during hours after the burn.
August 5, 20197 yr That's the plan with our stove, it's only going to be 4kw but surrounded by heavy concrete blocks in the centre of the house. Although realistically it will only be needed in winter.
