I am breaking in the stove in the attic (hardening the varnish, which reeks awfully).I do not know, yet, if it can actually heat the room, as I have the trap door open to draw in some fresh air while the varnish hardens, but it seems that at least the near surroundings reach a comfortable temperature - meaning that we should probably still dress accordingly to season, and perhaps move a table up close for gaming under winter conditions.
We'll have so see about that - I hope to try out a gaming session with the stove lit somewhen between Christmas and New Year, or very soon in 2015.
Looks very cosy - we really must get a stove fitted in our own living room.
ReplyDeleteI cannot recommend it enough! After getting the new convection stove installed, our radiators hardly do any of the heating in most of the ground floor, AND the wood-consumption has been minimized, as we only have to put a piece of firewood on the fire appr. once per hour (we had to use a LOT of wood to get the old radiation stove to heat up the living room alone).
DeleteI look forward to try the stove in the attic wiht the access trap-door closed one of the next days - I would be surprised if it doesn't raise the temperature by 5-10 degrees (especially in less windy conditions).
