    Wood stove, but I have a propane furnace that I use in the Spring & Fall to take the chill out when it isn't cold enough to run the wood stove.

    Wood stove with oil fired heater as backup for when I get lazy or the temps drop below 10F.

    Woodstove (insert)

    My husband just cut a hole in the side of it and ran some stuff that looks like metal dryer hose out the window so it wasn't drawing outside (cold) air in.

    He's been talking about it for years....finally did it. I was skeptical, but I will (and did) admit that he was right (ouch.)

    In prior years, the room with the stove was always toasty, but when you went to the back rooms it was always cold. Now it seems to have evened out. Still a bit warmer in the one room, but very comfortable everywhere.

    We're in a Ranch style house, with a ceiling fan in the room that's heated and a fan on a stand blowing down the hallway.

    My stove is a '70s version of http://www.morsoe.com/global/2BUO.htm.  It's essentially the same as the one on the right, except for the door.  My door is solid and the intake is on the bottom, with a shroud behind (inside) the intake.  In fact, it appears as though every one of the cast iron panels is still the same but for the door frame end panel.  There are oak leaves in 3D on the ends of the arch and a wreath of oak with a squirrel chowing down inside it, on the firebox side panels.

    The new iteration apparently has an interior firebrick lining, thus shortening the available fuel length to 17¾" whereas mine is unlined and will take 22".  It'll burn and put good heat out a bit longer than 8 hours, and will usually still not need a source of flame for a reload up to about 12 hours since there is no grate and the coals nestle comfortably in a bed of ash.

    I think that some of that stuff on outdoor air was written by folks that were educated beyond their basic intelligence.

    Wood furnace with reversed combustion, 1500 liter accumulation, loading valve (allows the furnace to stay in optimal work temp 73 degrees). Total Wood consumsion 15 cubic meters, thrown in a pile.
    I have an 12Kw heater in one of the two tanks, but never used it.
    makes a fire and fills up the furnace then finished for that day, takes 2-3 hours. In summer I fire it up once a week to hot water. Winter time every other day or each day if it is bellow 10 degrees.

    Newmac Classic I woodstove in the basement, and a bit of ducting with a few 120v 4 or 5": square fans.... Have electric baseboards as well but still have the breakers all off for them, even with the -25 C weather lately
