We use a Clean Burn used oil furnace with a chimney that the smoke goes out. We have had it several years and we like it. Not a cheap up-front option but long term it seems to pay for itself. The propane companies we heat our poultry houses left us sit too many times. They let us run out of propane and yes we have self monitoring tanks but something wasn't working quite right .

One time expense. You will always be buying propane and seems the price keeps going up like everything else.

Djon't forget to check with your insurance company in regards to having a wood stove vs other types of heat. Wood might be cheaper for heat but the insurance to have may change your mind.

The air conditioning raised my electric bill about 40-50 bucks a month. But worth every penny this summer as we have had 84 days and counting over 90 degrees. It doesn't run much once it cools down because there are no windows in the building and insulated between the trusses and the walls..... R-19 in ceiling

Djon't forget to check with your insurance company in regards to having a wood stove vs other types of heat. Wood might be cheaper for heat but the insurance to have may change your mind. The woodstove in my house hiked my insurance bill by $20/ year. There's nothing like working on fur with wood heat in the dead of winter. Other heat sources just don't compare...and fur dries quite abit faster. BUT does it get that cold in VA to justify the expense? It does up here, however.

Those ventless heaters are cheap and 100% efficient. I use acetone to clean the O2 sensor every couple years. Dust gets on them and the heater wont work. Unless you already have a splitter there is another purchase you will need. With all the health issues you have had over the years I somehow doubt you want to split wood by hand. Its nice to put that black knob at about 2 1/2 , and not build and feed a fire with wood you gave up several weekends to cut haul and split. Plus the money spent on that endeavor. P.S. those ventless heaters produce radiant heat just like a wood stove.
