I have this in my house:
It's a little wood burning stove.
The Wife would like something that puts off a bit more heat, and something with a little more ambiance to it like a fireplace. Since we heat with propane, I'd like to stay away from a propane insert since propane is so damn expensive. I was thinking something along the lines of a pellet insert/stove that would serve both as an alternate heating source and as something nice to sit in front of during the colder months.
What are my options for removing this little wood burner and installing something else more practical?
Do the inserts have a fan/blower on them to distribute the heat? I understand that the initial room will obviously be warmer than the rest of the house, but will it move enough warm air to make it worth while to use in conjunction with our propane forced air heat?
Any other suggestions?
What are some good brands that I should be looking at?
