Just the model, Cory. Improved from a design of that time period.

Just the one stove, Justin. But as Burnham eluded to, the house was designed by us specifically to maximize the use of a wood stove. It is a 1903 Hartland Oval that is UL-rated so house insurance will still accept it. A key component, is that it also has a outside fresh air intake into the...

Yes, it does, Stig. You are a most interesting individual.

Shoot, does having your stove smack dab in the center of the house count? Seems to work fairly well.

I'm a little surprised that more people have not mentioned ceiling fans. If you have quality brushless ones that have a true slow speed, they are tremendous at getting room heat distributed. The huge plus for them is that they are whisper quite.

Hopefully you can find someone to take care of that... lol. Good find.

Really, heating with wood does not need to be complicated.

We empty the ash tray from the stove into a steel 30 gal garbage can. We have to empty the garbage can 4 to 5 times a year. Dispersed on the land it causes no problems as it is just the chemical residues of wood. That said, ash composition will vary greatly depending not only on wood type but...

No, you were right the first time, Cory. Two terrible Terriers.

I am actually a bit surprised that there are not more wood burners in this group. We designed our house around wood heat and use. Wood is after all, a by product of what we do that we get paid to take away.

Yes. Hard to imagine someone in the tree business not heating with wood. It is more than free, people pay us to take it! Plus I love wood heat.

You know, I have read lots of papers that attempt to prove that natural house leakage is the best and safest way, so you are not wrong and it does work. We built our house around a wood cook stove and that is all we use for cooking and heat. Our house is also very tight and well insulated...

Do any of you wood burners use a dedicated outside air intake to the fire box? If not, give it some thought as it makes a big difference in both efficiency and safety.
