'Cause we like to stay warm on those cold winter nights.
Seven to eight cords of wood is a lot to use in the Indy area. You've either got a very inefficient stove, big house, loose house, bad wood or a combination of those things.
It's still worth it though. Saving money and keeping warm.
hummmm good point, well i figured about 15 rick, but after being on this site for a couple of weeks, and everyone using the CORD way . then i am guessing 7 cord? since two rick = 1 cord? right? :dunno:
wood is all red & white oak/cherry/walnut
tri-level 1600sqft house, but don't heat the lower level since it's not done, so with bare concrete block and concrete floor, makes it a little cold.
old single pane windows, with storms. Yes they need replaced. must call Eric i know.....
.
and this stove works fine but burns way to much wood.
i can get the air temp at a steady 200degs about 80% of the time but house is cold and leaks.
stove was free, plan is after new furnace is installed, i will move this stove to the shop and purchase a new wood fired furnace to replace this one.
at least it's free, and if i turn the breakers back on for the elect. ceiling heat i don't care too much for the $400 a month bills.
