FLL - I checked into those and they're too small for our home. We've got an open-concept home - the whole first floor is one room, with the exception of the bathroom...
I think wood or pellet stoves are a better option for us.
For those of you who posted about your experiences with children around woodstoves - thank you! I grew up with one and had no problems but I have a cousin who is badly scarred on the left side of his face from landing upside a hot woodstove one day, when he was just 3 years old. I worry about those things - and probably lean more towards a pellet stove for that reason. So far things haven't been as bad as I had anticipated with the our fuel use. We've been extra conservative and it's paying off. That's not to say it's still a little rich for our blood....
Thanks again for all the great input - we do appreciate it!
