The other day, we took a look at "BTUs and Gas Fireplaces, What Does It Mean?" and mentioned that in a room with adequate insulation and typical ceilings each 10,000 BTUs of heat output will heat about 350 square feet in a room, but if don't feel like doing the math to see how that applies to your home, Hearth.net has a calculator for figuring out the BTUs required to heat any given space. Just plug in your numbers, and the program will figure out the answer for you.
