Square foot ratings are misleading…your easy to heat square foot doesn’t compare to another’s hard to heat square foot

It’s a coal stove so just don’t expect wood to be a top performer.

LaPan Antique Stove in Cornish,NH or Antique Stove Hosptial in Little Compton,RI.
Will give you options on your heating requirements. Evansville Antiques could help also. Jim is mostly ranges I think.

Thanks for some info, but not enough.
If you buy a #12, hope you got backup heat.

Coal prices took a jump, being farther away makes it worse.

I used a 10 inch Mica Baseburner for awhile
last year. At 10° it needed help from my other stove, to maintain 74 inside only heating 1285sq ft. Ranch house.

Somewhere in the past... I read you could estimate the BTU output of an antique using 300BTU/square inch of coal grate/pot.
Assuming the formula holds for the St Nicholas and the "13" and "15" refer to the diameter than you MAY get 39,900 and 53,014 BTU/hr. I hope someone on the forum can remember if the 300Btu/in2 figure was heat input or heat output.
