One question that I had related to the size of the pipes for heat transfer. Did you say that you have two- 4 inch pipes or two- 24 inch pipes. Either scale...
Well I let this pass because I didn't see where it had wood heat content. Seeing as the list is a little slow, I'll poke at it Corregated pipe is not good for...
I am so happy and impressed at not only how beautiful my new fireplace insert is, but how effectively it heats!!! And I'm still in the break-in period, so I...
Hi Beachbody, I cut, split, and stack much of my own wood. Sometimes I scrounge wood from people who've had trees cut down and leave the logs roadside ... ...
WHAT KIND OF STOVE DO YOU HAVE? WHAT CLIMATE DO YOU LIVE IN? I ONLY DEPENEDED ON SCROUNGING WHEN IN RAN OUT OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I HAD PREPARED FOR: THE...
I have a Vermont Casting "Defiant", circa 1975, and I live in south Jersey (with a couple of jaunts to Florida in the winter). Hey, if I'm coming back from...
Tip for wood scrougers. All electric power line companies have a schedule at which they have their lines cut cleared. Get the schedule of where they will be ...
For 5 years, i installed 8'' insulated accordian type ductwork from a wood burner in the garage to a window in the kitchen. the length was 35 feet with 5 of...
We are remodeling our modest home and part of renovation includes installing a zero clearance wood burning fireplace in our living room. We have only one good,...
Try a Quadrafire Wood insert - I think they have zero clearence stoves. We just picked one up for our fireplace this year - it is a smaller one 3100i - but it...
buck Sounds like your existing fireplace is a heatalator. I believe the doors would have been a customer add on somewhere along the way. Save your $900. It's a...
Over the past couple of months I posted a couple of questions during the design of my new home. We finally finished up the drawings and now I am having second...
Hello... I am new and would like to know if anyone knows about masonary heaters? They can be very costly to be built. However, it is suppose to be the #1...
http://www.csia.org/homeowners.htm<http://www.csia.org/homeowners.htm> Jacq, Can't say I know a lot about them but I was present when the one pictured in the...
Isokern doesn't have a dealer anywhere close (West central Minnesota is where I live). So what you're telling me is that there are no non- masonry woodburning...
Hi all, I've been working on a document called The Argument in Favor of Wood Heating for several months and finally posted it to the woodheat.org web site late...
The old masonry fireplace has a pretty sharp angle in the chimney. Seems they built it alongside the flue rather than going straight up. So the angle of the...
Not that I know of. You could use a masonry mass near the stove to act as a heat sink. We did that at our last house but the stove did not radiate enough heat...
Very interesting and informative read. Given the new voluntary EPA standards for outdoor wood burning furnaces, do you think the furnaces that comply with...
Buck The first question to answer is, "Do you want to regularly supplement your central heat by burning wood ?" If the answer is yes then I believe the once in...
Buck The picture I get is that you have a masonry fireplace and 6 - 8 feet away is the chimney and you have a metal flue pipe coming out the top of the ...
I can't remember who first suggested that I check with dealers for clearance items, but I'm glad they said it! We bought a Jotul F400 Castine, Ivory porcelain...
Joe, I suggest you talk to whoever you are going to inspect it before you start and ask him what he will need to see. Sometimes, after the fact inspections are...
What I found the most interesting was the Energy Return On Energy Invested figures. As I suspected, atomic power is really bad, only 4:1. Coal is better at...
Good point, thanks for thinking of it for me! The chimney that will contain the stainless steel flue pipe is a straight shot, so removing the cap and looking...
That's about where I am as well: wood harvested from my own 3-acre lot adjacent to our house, it transported by wheelbarrow. What I can't haul by hand will be...
Joe, You really can't go wrong if one of your main goals in heating with wood is to save money. It takes effort and time on your part, but the payoff is...
It was two 4" pipes we insulated them well but still got water in the lines. It was a total failure. So we are going to move on to mabey a outdoor wood burner...
