So I have to show respect when someone jumps on me for being wrong even though there have been studies to back up what I am saying? Why just...
I would have responded in exactly the same way there. And have many times. There have been several studies done on this by those two...
Of course I insulated the rim joists. What is your point? That is part of insulating a basement. Also what type of heat is given off by wood...
Well clearly you know more than the Penn State agricultural co op. And the csia.
Have you burnt a stove in an un insulated basement one year then insulated and burnt the same stove in that basement? I have.
Most users I know of like them allot as long as the electronics are working. Which was a problem. And no they are no longer being sold.
Burn time is only one factor of stove performance. I am running a bk now and yes it can burn for 24 hours or so. But not if I actually want to...
You are absolutely right. Burn times are effected by tons of different things. The weight of the stove being a very minor factor
What does wet or leaky have to do with it? I am talking about heat transfer not water infiltration.
Yes if your stove puts out enough BTUs to heat the house and the earth surrounding those block walls. You waste about 1/3 of your BTUs through...
I don't agree that weight of the stove has any effect on over all heat output. A stove with the same surface area and surface temp will put out...
Very true.
What was the life expectancy at that point though? Also houses are many times tighter than they were then.
No sorry no experience with these at all.
They are not great stoves. Some people love them but they are not easy to run and are difficult and expensive to maintain
Doesn't it have any casting marks? It certainly looks like a vc. It should have casting marks and a ul tag identifying it
Very nice and a good price as well. But to nice for me to cut up and make what I want lol.
It was 98 or 99 I have several friends from college who chose much more lucrative career paths but don't know how to drive their expensive cars lol
Never driven the wagon. But I have driven a 5 series sedan and for a big car it was fantastic
I have never owned anything German other than a few vws but have driven a fair number and all have impressed me. Other than Porsche. I just...
