We bought this new fireplace I want to tell you about.... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15170057 Canada 01/25/2014 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We bought this new fireplace I want to tell you about.... It's made by JOTUL, A Norwegian cast iron freestanding fireplace. It weighs a ton being cast iron and it's really well made. We just had it installed two weeks ago and I just can't believe the heat it throws out!! It heats our entire upstairs of our home fast. It is absolutely perfect if you have a smaller home or area that you would like to put in a fireplace. What is so cool about it is you can install it just about anywhere you want, even in the center of a room because it's finished all the way around. It's got a 3 sided view too, so it can accommodate two rooms like we did. It comes in both, natural gas and wood heat and I just loved the size of it! But the fact that it performs really well is the best news! It comes with a built in fan too, so you can pump that heat out fast and warm up lots of square footage. Here's the website by JOTUL, I lucked out and found a dealer right here in Saskatchewan. It's an approved appliance in Canada and the USA! Bonus! [ link to jotul.com] Here's pics where we installed it: We opened up the wall to our sunroom, wanted to heat it with this fireplace. :FP4: Doesn't take up much room at all! We opened up our kitchen, living room and sunroom to be able to heat it all easily now. :FP1: :FP2: :FP9: :FP10: :FP6: From the sunroom, you can see how it's finished. :FP3: We hid the hardware under the tile base. :FP7: :FP8: It's an awesome fireplace!!!! Here's the same fireplace installed in the center room of someones place. :FP11: |

Now I prefer the thermal mass rocket stoves though. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52036033 Get a thermal fan no power and blows harder as the heat increases. They are about $50.00 and well worth it. For OP's scenario I'd buy 2 to spread the heat all over. |

Hello from Gods own county (Yorkshire) Being a Yorkshire man I think you have paid over the odds BUT as Yorkshire folk are tighter than Scotts men with money I will let that one pass. One of the most brilliant things I have seen in the USA are the old colonial chimney stacks built at the END of the building. I do NOT understand the attraction of your system. LOTS of money spent on attractiveness, why not just build on a grate and chimney ?? |

I suppose people in the Northern part of this country are going to have to consider such if our winters continue to be this bad. I also notice the low ceiling you have and suspect that helps. Here in the South, we so often have high ones because the houses are built more to endure the heat rather than the cold. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.
Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.
