When it comes to the topic of stoves, one has to say that it is clearly a luxury and has absolutely nothing to do with economic efficiency.
Don’t get me wrong, I also find it very nice, but there are threads where people calculate themselves to death with photovoltaics and storage, optimal installation of underfloor heating, KfW40 or 55, interest rate differences of 0.05, and then someone comes along with such a stove.
Luxury: yes, cool
Necessity: no
Economic efficiency: disastrous
If you decide on it, then really get good advice (placement location, size, provide for wood storage, etc.)
I see it differently.
Clear luxury is 90% of all things we discuss here, including yours, you just have your own perspective on it.
Economic efficiency or ecological meaningfulness can be viewed through many parameters. What is often overlooked is the fact that our individual behavior (e.g., also heating behavior) is the biggest enemy of economic efficiency/ecology.
For example, I drive an old diesel and mainly heat my house with my wood stove and even without my own forest. Why? Because I like it, because I know it well, and due to my heating behavior/lifestyle I don’t become poor.
At the same time, I am sure that my ecological footprint could be compared at any time with many others because I handle the aforementioned things quite carefully. I drive little, usually keep a low room temperature, and consume very little in many areas. I am therefore not a missionary and there is still much room for improvement, but simply owning a wood stove says nothing by itself if you do not consider the entire circumstances.
Even with the endless calculations of underfloor heating, heat pumps, etc., one could find criticism if one would look at what I consider excessive use.
Currently, I have underfloor heating and often have to “heat out” (a rather silly term that I first learned here in the forum).
Heating is like other things; supply temperature: you can/cannot have everything, and if I want that, then my first and decisive decision is, for example, a fireplace. This may have the consequence that another heating system is installed as supply temperature, e.g., the usual heat pump/underfloor heating. The problem I often read here is that people want everything. If I really want underfloor heating, then it should be supply temperature, no fireplace, or only a really well-thought-out system, or a easily controllable gas fireplace.
“Necessity: no” What do you base your “necessity” on? I could at any time probably declare 90% of all generally usual necessities as unnecessary and name feasible alternatives. It is simply the question of where and how someone experiences their luxury/their quality of life. One with the expensive watch, another in front of the fireplace, and the third while grilling. I don't like this right/wrong.
“Economic efficiency: disastrous” is probably every newly bought car, most technical tools, most of the many clothing items, decorations, going to a restaurant, and certainly usually a single-family house... and also vacation or traveling, if you consider their deeper meaning only economically.
