You should think hard about where to put a wood stove. I should be located
where the heat rises, then, rising, spreads to rooms you want to heat. You
also need to compare heated area vs btu output of the stove.  Before you
check with local codes for legality, you should get expert advice on best
place, quite aside from aesthetic considerations, as in, "where would it
look best". Also, with woodstoves, I find the newsgroup alt.energy.homepower
very helpful, as they handle thousands of woodstove queries.
