He replaced it with a wood burning stove that put out a LOT MORE heat. He was an old cowboy and liked his old fashion stoves to cook coffee on. I found the old orange fireplace out in his barn back in 2000. It was in good shape with a few small rustholes and no smoke stack. I used it on my patio as a retro outdoor chimney. It went nicely with my Tiki / Modern backyard theme. Everyone loved seeing it at our house partys. As it got older and rusty-ier (I had toddlers running around it's rusty edges)...I gave it to a cool rock-a-billy neighbor of mine for his yard. I do miss it.

I want this look as it will go with the style of my house but it needs to be reliable or at least put out a good source of heat (in case power goes out) and not just be a "cozy" bun warmer. Anyone know how much btu or how big of a house it can heat. Efficiency is possibly the deciding factor, as much as it pains me cause I have drooled over these for a couple of years. Also, if it draw heat out of the house? i am deliberating between buying a Malm Zircon (or fire drum if we can afford it) vs a “traditional” wood burning stove.
