Home Built Wood Stoves Anyone Know A Lot About Indoor Wood Burning Stoves?

Anyone know a lot about indoor wood burning stoves? - home built wood stoves

Currently, with a wood stove in our main source of heat and use propane furnace only when from home for long periods or as a backup when the fire through the middle of the night. Actually, the heat also love wood. This place is a small, 900 square meters, all on one floor.

We want a house that was built in 1930 to buy, he moves this summer. The gas man came yesterday and proposed to convert to natural gas, the furnace with forced air, something new to replace the more energy efficient. Well, we talked about adding a wood stove to heat the house before they told us. My question is, can heat about 1700 square meters with 2 floors and basement of the wood alone, or at least as a primary source of heat? What would be the best place to install the stove? How do I do in the cellar, but really, around the fire to see, and I fear that if ever a leak of natural gas and wood burning stove, which had

It is quite possible, a house the size of the wood heat, but you have a kitchen and a considerable quantity of wood, especially if the house is the isolation of the 1930s, typical - what is not, and the single-glazed windows. If you want to heat the whole house with wood, the basement is probably the best place to cook. If the basement is a basement is not used for housing, I suggest, by the wood stove on the floor, and serve as the primary heat shoulder seasons, supplemented by the gas oven in a very cold climate. You can heat the basement, just in the cold with oil cooler, which seem to work quite well and efficiently. Have you checked the masonry stoves?

I have to fill the coal mines in the winter or can not heat the whole house 24 hours a day. My furnace burns both heat and my 1200 square meters on one floor.
I put my kitchen on the ground east, but may be that to get a pellet stove or coal to heat the house.

We have a few friends from the addition of an old house and into a wood stove. What is your type of CVC, said the heat from the oven, if it could next to the "return" should be included in its entirety and then into the house, when the system uses a "fan" just put recycling. Is this reasonable?

and put it on the lateral side of the family room and on the way to the ceiling fan is a return to the air and blow through the rest of the ventilation in the house to suck. You are on jplanning heat a home this way.

I do not think that will help you in your basement, though, but most people use stoves in the basement?

I hope it goes a little bit. Good luck.
