[QUOTE="jpmako, post: 4600135, member: 11992"] We are moving to our house in Maine after the new year. The current set-up is, in the basement an oil heater and our Cawley 600 wood stove share the same flue. Upstairs we have an older insert with a blower. Although the set-up in the basement is "Grandfathered", I know that this is not an ideal. Since we are moving to the house during the winter I have some questions regarding safe burning practices. Being that the house is vacant, we turned the heat to 55 degrees to save on heating oil. When we arrive I will obviously turn the heat up to make the house comfortable. Since we have a stove in the basement and an insert upstairs, I would like to primarily heat with wood. My questions are: 1. Can I use the wood stove while the heat is turned on? 2. Should I worry about using the stove and oil heater simultaneously being that they share a common flue? Thanks for any suggestions, Jason [/QUOTE]
