I have thought I would like a OWB but after reading the amounts of wood used to heat even a 2000 sq ft home I also say it is nuts.
My 30 year old wore out add on furnace used 4.5 cords of wood last winter to heat my 1900 sq ft house. Many times the wife is opening windows and the door to the screen porch to cool it down since the thing is so wore out it is hard to controll the heat like we could 30 years ago when we adveraged 3.5 cords of wood to heat the place. We have a little Ashley in the dinning room we haven't had a fire in since we figured out how to control the add on.
The ashley and the add on is our only sourse of heat in the house too.
