How do I determine what size a stove I need?

First determine the square footage of the area you wish to heat.
(Multiply the width and length of the area)

Woodstoves:

A SMALL woodstove heats from 600 to 1000 sq feet.
 
A MEDIUM woodstove will heat from 800 to 2000 square feet.
 
A LARGE woodstove will heat from 800 to 3000 square feet.
 
Pellet stoves:
 
A 30,000 BTU unit will heat 600 to 1200 square feet.
 
A 35,000 BTU unit will heat 800 to 1500 square feet.
 
A 40,000 BTU unit will heat 800 to 2000 square feet.
 
A 45,000 BTU unit will heat 800 to 2200 square feet.
 
A 50,000 BTU unit will heat 800 to 2500 square feet.
 
A 60,000 BTU unit will heat 1000 to 3000 square feet.
 
If the area you wish to heat is very open with few walls, such as a basement or open building, heat will be able to circulate easier and more square feet will be heated.
 
What kind of Warranty will I receive?

All stoves sold by Limeport Hearth and Stoves are covered by a full manufactures warranty.
 
What kind of Venting Materials does my stove require?
 
Woodstoves and Pellet stoves require different chimney and venting systems. Pellet stoves may be vented straight through a wall, similar to a dryer, or they may be vented through a conventional chimney.
Woodstoves ALWAYS require a chimney. We sell and install chimneys, or you may use an existing chimney.
 
Do I need a hearthpad?
 
Yes. All stoves must sit on a noncombustible surface. We sell hearthpads in many colors, sizes and styles.
