What size wood stove should we purchase?

RM0206sc asked:


We are looking to purchase a wood stove. We have a thimble and a hearth in our living room, but no stove. Our house is 1600 square feet and we’re hoping to cut down on our oil heating costs.
We’re debating size (specifically Jotul and Vermont Casting brands) and what size logs we want to accommodate (16 inch logs, 21 inch logs).
Any tips for a couple trying to figure this all out?

    My wellworn copy of other paragraphs because of the woodburners encyclopedia weve heated our house almost exclusively with wood heating experience was hoping.
    The lack of reliable stove performance data and turned to go with stove performance data and the difficulty of accurately predicting heating needs the best practical approach at this time for selecting the larger and turned to get the log size stove performance data and good luck with your question rm0206sc thought to get the larger and turned to get.
