Apparently you need firebricks on three sides to get hot enough for the secondary combustion. Oh well, probably go with something like this for that space but with stacked-stone and full depth stove. Probably no pillars. That looks like a Vermont Castings stove (or a photoshop of a Vermont Castings stove). We have a Defiant Encore for our smallish house and it's awesome. If you can find a good dealer, their stoves are really nice. Being able to load wood from the top is so handy.

Gounads posted:I think it's this one Good choice. We replaced a 20-year-old Encore (had been regularly over-fired due to a broken air control) with a new Encore two years ago. Top-loading is the best feature, and we can keep ours going overnight with no problem. We can use ours as a primary heat source easily, though our house is only 1500 square feet and is one-story. Are you planning to be able to heat the whole house?

Gounads posted:We looked at an encore stove, but their wall clearances were 3x the vermont castings so the hearth would have had to be bigger than we wanted. You linked to a Vermont Castings Encore, so that's what I was assuming. The Encore does come with additional heat shielding on the back of the stove too.
