ᐅ Issue with Chimney Sizing – Panorama Fireplace as a Room Divider

Good evening everyone,
We have planned a panoramic fireplace as a room divider in our living area.
The living area is about 60sqm (646 sq ft) with a volume of 150m3 (5,295 cu ft).
There are some nice fireplaces from well-known manufacturers that we find visually appealing, but in our opinion, all good fireplaces have a rated output between 9kW and 12kW.
According to online research, this is probably a bit too much... however...
Are there any experiences from people who have already had to make such a decision?
What happens if you simply use less wood...
(I know it is said that the glass then gets dirty more quickly – any experiences?)
Thanks in advance!

Buy an ash vacuum cleaner. I can only recommend it 🙂Can you recommend a specific model?We also have one with 9 kW. A Camina S14 or 15.
We don’t really have much thermal mass. Still, we don’t experience the effect our friends report with their stoves bought from hardware stores. They always seem to have sauna-like conditions when they turn on their stove. For us, the temperature only rises by a maximum of 4 degrees. So from 21 to 25 degrees. However, we have a large open area around the fireplace (about 70 sqm (750 sq ft) with a ceiling height of 2.75 m (9 ft)).

Well, I don’t do that either. I always take a small, thin but wider piece of wood and scrape the ash into the middle. There is a catch tray under a grate there. After a few times of lighting the fire, I then remove the tray and empty it. A vacuum cleaner would be very useful for suction in places that are hard to reach or where the dirt would otherwise fall where you don’t want it.

If you remove the filter, you can even vacuum medium-sized charcoal pieces. 😉

Oh dear, I always use a regular vacuum cleaner, at least for the door and whatever falls nearby. Is that a problem?
I change the ash in the stove approximately every 8 weeks. That is usually enough because the ash also burns again over time, about 8 times as I learned. And you should never remove all the ash; about 20 percent should remain in the stove.
