I am trying to decide which type of stove to get. My fireplace is 36"W X 29"H. I can fit most inserts but I like the thought of having a wood stove in front of the fireplace. I think I would get more heat from the stove and would not have to run a fan. I would be limited to stoves with a rear flue exit. I have looked at the Drolet Insert at Northern, approx $900, and I have looked at Jotul and HearthStone stoves, over $2000. After Reading some reviews, I think I will stay away from the Hearthstone. I will be heating approx 1600 sq feet. What would you recommend? Getting firewood is not a Problem. Or should I just buy a used insert. Thanks.
