Hi, I'm new to this group.
Re: warming
A metal stove cools off quickly. I understand that's why Europeans
have those Tile Stoves. It takes long to heat, but also radiates heat
for a long time. The trick is to keep it hot/warm for maximum comfort
levels in the building.

Well, I don't have any experience heating a stone

Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest) we heated
a 3 bedroom house with only one wood fired stove.
There were still snow patches around in August!! The
only way to be reasonably comfortable was to NEVER let
the fire go completely out and wear lots of layers.
If we did have occasion to leave for more than a day
or so, the core of the house would be so cold that it
would take a week or more to warm back up. The metal
of the stove would radiate for about half a day, but
more than that and you were sunk.
