Wow Eugen,
I'm amazed too. I didn't know that wood would burn in those temperatures. And I hope to never witness it. Harvesting the heat might be food for thought.
Our place was about 1000 square feet too but that included the attached spacious one car garage which was not heated. The Vermont Castings was a very cute stove but we soon learned that not all fire wood was created the same. It was not as cute as the Petit Godin but it delivered about four times the heat.

If you're harvesting the heat then let me urge you to get a fan. We had a small wood burning stove to ease the electric heat. We put a thermostat on the stove that turned on a small fan when it felt 120 degrees. The next day we were heating the main part of the house with this tiny Vermont Castings wood stove. It was amazing.

I have a 5 row cast iron one on mine and it works great, takes awhile to heat up and when it's super hot out I have a small window fan behind it cooling it down.

That's interesting that a 5 row would do the job that well.
How big a load do you run on it?

Hi from the land where nothing works ie 1/2 mile outside the M25 uk.Its -6 celsius outside at the moment,I make that 28.7 fahrenheit.Worried about the amount of antifreeze in my toy I went for a cold start. High compression and O/load tripped .4 compressions later 42584 burst into life...result.ran for an hour with 2 kw on her and am now feeling rather pleased with myself,and warmer.How is everyone elses cold starting ?.
Yeah Ive been thinking about that too, turn of some things during the high times. Would work fine so long as nobody opens the doors to the fridge...
