Who’s using wood heat? I got it a steady 80 in the house and got a few windows cracked!

I used wood heat most of my life. I am almost 69 years old. It can be a bit hard to regulate if the stove is inside the area you are heating. I am living in a small cabin right now. Sometimes it gets pretty warm. Yes opening windows and cracking doors is a necessity once in a while. But when the wind is blowing and its zero or almost 40 below outside, I smile and enjoy wood heat so much !!!

Have heated with wood since my first rental house i instslled a wood stove . In the kitchen and ran the pipe out a window. First house had a free standing fireplace and lp i replaced the fire place wood stove after a year. And saved 1000 over the cost of the stove the first year in lp savings.

Now I have an outside wood burrner. After the first 4 years it paid for itself with what I saved on lp. This is year I or 9 with it. No smoke, ash, dirt, bugs or fire hazard inside the house. And it heats this big old drafty farm house. Don't have to cut or split wood any smaller than I want it to handel it.

Down side is I burn a lot of wood. But I think that more because heating this house is trying to heat the outdoors than the wood burner. Burnt about 18 small truck loads so far this year.

It's all I've ever known in my 68 years.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
