Many years ago this old house was heated by a Wonderwood circulator in the cellar that was ducted in. As upgrades came the stove was taken to the wood shop/garage and has provided heat there for about 15 years. The other day I put some hedge in it and I had to open the doors - the thermometer said 109.
Well, yesterday I discovered just how much terminal rust the old girl had. I installed a pot bellied stove in there today. It just isn't the same, but I was not going to spend $700 on a stove for the shop. I'm too stingy. I'll be comfortable but not in short sleeves.
Anyway, I am going to put in a wood burner back in the house to supplement the heat pump. There is no fireplace left and I really don't want to carry wood through the house to where the chimney is anyway. I am seriously considering an outdoor wood furnace that I can duct in. I run the HVAC fan year round so I could duct it in the trunk line and get good circulation.
Do any of you use such a setup? The neighbors had one growing up and loved it but theirs was not ducted in. The hot air entered through a large vent in the side of the family room. I don't think I want that look.
Oh, and I have to stay warm in the house so I can go out and chore every morning. On the tractors. See, it's related?!
