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.

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.
