    May just have to get one and when the house is warm, she will forgive the stunning good looks of a BKK I have the older non glass doors. I looked last year at a new one with the glass doors. I never thought, not in my house. Then again I know how the work, and don't care what it looks like.

    My fire gets heat from the bottom and sends it back through as jets of air .
    Sometimes does this to wood if it burns just right. IMG_7740.JPG IMG_7742.JPG

    Wind Chill -10°F (-23°C)
    shoveled the porch off but it's cold, I can drive through the snow that's in the driveway no problem
    They say Low tonight -2 °F probably be colder.

    Saw a log of -9 this morning. Just barely above zero now. Burning some red oak and shag hickory but it still can't keep up. At least the furnace doesn't run all the time.

    Same here. Keeping the furnace running as little as possible.

    I've been thinking about putting a wood burning add on furnace into my house.

    I don't have room for something like that. Space around the furnace is taken up by the pressure tank, oil tank, two freezers, washer and dryer and utility sink and the cats litter box

    I've got the room, and even a window that could be made into a wood chute and a decent sized area to store a couple of cords of wood. I would need to add a chimney/ pipe though since there's only one from the basement and that's for natural gas ( water heater and furnace). If I had a spare chimney, I'd probably already have one going in the basement.
