Hello,
we would like to have a stove installed in our new house to heat the connected living room/dining room/kitchen area (60 sqm). The room has underfloor heating, which we only want to use to bring the room to 19-20 degrees. What is then missing for it to be "cozy" should come from the stove. The stove is positioned as a room divider (WxHxD 200x160x80) between the living room and kitchen.
So far, we have planned a pure masonry heat storage stove with a glass pane but without ventilation grilles, as we want radiant heat and no air or dust circulation. Now a stove builder has advised us to build a (small) part of the stove with closable air grilles in order to be able to heat up quickly during transitional periods. That makes sense to me in principle, as the storage stove takes a considerable amount of time to heat up. On the other hand, I fear losing too much storage mass and ending up with nothing more than a warm air stove with some mass. Therefore, my questions:
- Who heats with a pure storage stove? Is the problem of the transitional season actually present?
- Who has a combination stove as described above? How well does it manage the compromise of both?
Thanks for the help with the decision!
