Hey all,
My house is a drafty old farmhouse built in the 30s about 2400 sq ft. I plan on building a heated shop "someday". I'm currently heating with fuel oil in a 15 year old furnace in the basement. We just fueled the pig up this week for the third time - $600 a pop. We keep the house at 60 degrees pretty much all the time except we bump it up to 68 degrees from about 5 pm to 9 pm. the farm is 360 acres with at least 80 acres of woods. Lots of black locust, burr oak, black walnut, shagbark hickory, cherry, etc. Also plenty of boxelder, cedar, and aspen...
Local guy is clearancing out his outdoor wood gasification units. Supposed to handle 6000 sq feet. He want $6700 for all materials and $750 to install it. Brand new, no warranty. I can be burning wood by next friday for $7400...
Whaddya think?
