It's my day for DIY/rennovation questions!
The builders are in and the living room fireplace has been knocked out. I'm going for a wood-burning/multi-fuel stove OR a natural gas look-alike, all quaint and period-like.
So I have an idea of the size that the fireplace needs to be but absolutely no idea about (yeah, yeah, many things, I know!) a suitable heat output for said heating appliance. Is there a guide anywhwere, based on the cubic footage of a room? E.g. 1680 cubic feet room best served by 10Kw output, or whatever.
Also, anyone got a wood burning stove? Are they in any ways dirty in terms of depositing dust and soot around the place?
TIA, David
