Does anyone have any experience with a wood stove that also heats? I don't need it to heat the entire house but, maybe just half. I already have a wood burning fireplace. My thought is putting a wood cooking stove in my dinning room. I'd be able to cook on it and provide heat to the back end of the house that the fireplace heat can't reach. Any feedback would be great. Thank you in advance!

No experience but that looks awesome. I'd love a wood stove cooked pizza.

They both look pretty slick. I just wonder how well they would work as a heater though. I was thinking of the big old cast iron stoves of long ago. Probably the Amish up LaGrange or Adams could be of some help. A lot of them have gone to covert propane though.

I have no experience personally, but my wife's cousin homesteaded down in backwoods Missouri for several years and that is what they used one to cook on and heat that area of the house.

I don't like the design. The wood stove part should be at the bottom and a gas burn area above and just below the grill top. Let the gas heat the grill top. Maybe both ends open for some flames in upper section. Also have a door in the gas area for a little smoke effect.

Burn box looks small so fast hot fires and lots of splitting. My bro n law has a miniature stove in his fur shed. He has to split fuel to kindling size and it burns out fast. May be ok for cooking but if you are wanting it for heat first I would look for one that can get decent sized chunks.

Thanks for the input. I think that's my main concern is constantly having to feed it. The one with the red on it is a Rosa XXL. They claim it's designed to heat and cook. The video on how it operates seems pretty slick on how it moves the heat around.

I’ve got an old porcelain wood cook stove in my pole barn hooked up for heat. The firebox is small but it does a ok job burning up my woodworking scraps. Haven’t fired it up for a few years now.

My parents for years had a Better n Ben's fireplace insert. It was 2'x2'x3' and was great for cooking on and heating the house. Mom could cook a whole meal on it. She had a dutche oven that went on top to make pies in. They had it for over 35 years before it was to worn out to use. Looked like these.

So we've made a decision to go ahead with the purchase of a wood stove. My next question is regarding the pipe/chimney.
I understand that the black pipe (18" from combustibles) and the double wall (6" from combustibles) have their pros and cons such as cost difference and overall look. In my circumstance, I am going to vent through a wall rather than through my ceiling. How to you safely go through the wall and maintain that 6" or 18" gap while going through the wall?

I'm also looking for ideas for the wall behind the stove. I'm thinking some sort of brick panel.

I'm obviously new to all this. But, is there a reason I need the "T"? In my simple and ignorant mind, I invisioned coming up out of the stove about 24" up, elbow joint towards the wall, roughly 48" or more from the elbow to and through the wall, elbow up for the chimney.

The tee mounts to the brace/bracket that mounts on the wall to hold it secure it also provides a clean out for the flue

You can also go through the wall with a clay tile and than run your flue pipe through but you may need to do a bit of framing to hold the weight
That’s the nice thing about the wall kit it helps hold the weight of the vertical rise most are at a 16 OC so you can catch two studs You should also consider a eve or roof bracket it wraps around your flue and mounts to eve or roof to keep it secure in wind on a wood burning appliance your flue should be no less than three feet above the roof they also make a spark arrest cap if you’re in in area that would be prone to fire like a woods or lots of leafs on the ground

I don't know much but if you can run direct without any bends it is better for creosote buildup. Every time your flue bends it slows the exhaust allowing it to cool and precipitate.
Mine is in my basement so it has 2 90s and runs up a cinderblock chimney. We had a flue fire 5 or 6 yrs ago that damaged the old flue so I had it removed and replaced with a stainless flu. When I clean it there is a lot of debris in the horizontal run.

Another thing is to check with your homeowners insurance policy. When my sister and her husband put theirs in, they had to switch insurance companies,and the insurance company that they went with required the installation to be done by a qualified installer (the place that they bought the stove from did the install)or they wouldn't issue homeowners insurance.
Single wall will put more heat into the house. But with that short of a run, I'd go with the double/triple wall stainless. The more heat that you keep in the flue, the less creosote build up too. With that short of a run in the house you won't get much heat transfer. If it was a longer run, I'd say differently.
Treetop, does the flue have to be 3' above the roof or 3' above the ridge? Deadeer has problems with his wood burner getting a downdraft when the wind is from a certain direction. I don't know how tall his flue is though.
