Which wood-burning stove (data)?

Hello,

I need your advice on purchasing a wood-burning stove.

In our living area (approx. 33 sqm), which is connected to the kitchen (approx. 15 sqm), a wood-burning stove is planned. It would be good if both rooms could be heated a bit with it. There is no ventilation system. Wood does not need to be purchased.

What heat output and efficiency should the wood-burning stove have?

If further information is needed, just let me know.

Thank you very much.

Regards

A few more details about the house would be interesting, especially energy standard/year of construction and whether there are many (large) windows.

Also, how high the energy demand of the whole house is for how many sqm... Then you can try to estimate something.

If it is a new building, I suspect that every stove will be 3 sizes too big.

Example: Our house has an energy demand of 8kW (including hot water) with a total of 125 sqm. We have the smallest Scan round stove with 4-6kW and when we fire it up fully, after 2 hours we have 25-26° in the combined living/dining/kitchen area with something around 40 sqm. Only a little wood needs to be added there. You overheat either way.

Thank you very much, toxicmolotow.

It is a new building, but not a KfW house. The brick is a 36 cm Poroton.

So a stove with a max. 5 kW is sufficient, right?

I agree with toxicmolotow. We have 129 m² and a heating load of 4.6 kW. Our L-shaped living-dining-kitchen construction is 48 m². Our Hase Luno has a nominal heat output of 5.5 kW. It heats up quite quickly... :)

I am by no means an expert, but I think so.

How much power should the heater have?

We have a relatively large stove in the living room....but the heat constantly rises upwards, so that the temperature on the ground floor only increases slowly. I believe the nature of the rooms is therefore much more important than the KW rating of the stove itself. In my opinion, the stove should primarily fit the living room in size - that is important.
