Sizing a wood stove for a 20' yurt ?

[jmagnuss]

Just to add some extra info: I was going to use a Morso 2B, which is quite small but rated for the appropriate sqft (1,000 compared to the ~750 in my 30' yurt). After discussing with the local expert, I'm going with a Pacific Energy Super, which is a comparatively massive 72,000 BTU. The reasons were:
- takes a full-size log, with the smaller stoves I likely would have had to trim my cordwood, which by all accounts is a giant pain in the ass
- the recommendation was to get something that will be able to rapidly heat up the yurt, and then you can adjust down the fire intensity with air flow and fuel, so we're not creating a permanent sauna but can still fill the large air volume rapidly.
- larger stoves allow longer overnight burns

I'll let you know how it goes, doing the installation myself this month.

Oh, and hearth.com forums were a huge resource, but experience there varies a lot. I did a lot of research there and then had important questions answered by the installer / owner at the local wood stove shop.
