Wood stoves
Geezer:
I have been heating my 3000 sq ft log cabin with wood for more than 15 years. I use a RSF high efficiency fireplace. It is air tight and works much like a wood stove. Based on the cost difference between fuel oil and wood I have paid for the fireplace, chain saw, log splitter, logs, fuel and maintenance many times over. I enjoy cutting and splitting wood, but even if I bought pre-cut and split cord wood it would be a lot less expensive than fuel oil.
I have an oil fired boiler that kicks in when I am not around to feed wood in the fire. When I get around to replacing that boiler I will look into a combination wood/oil or wood/propane boiler.

I’ve been burning wood for my entire life, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way!
walkabout:
I have a out door wood boiler past 15 years heat house, shop and water. only time I burn oil is summer to heat water..I've been buying wood most in chunks unspoilt still saving several thousand in fuel.

Looking good WEM. The best part of heating by wood is the self sufficiency of it .Not counting on anyone but yourself to keep your family warm.
