   I have a 2,650sq ft house and this sits about 30ft from my house. Load it ONCE in the morning if its above zero and TWICE a day if below zero. How this works: heats the jacket of water around the wood stove, NOT anti freeze, and the heated water goes underground through “pipes” and runs under the blower of your furnace. Therm in the house that only runs the fan on our furnace and WONT kick on propane. Hot water in the pipe goes under the fan of the furnace and it kicks on at the desired temp:)

   Its basically at boiler. there is a water jacket wrapped around burner. You run pipes underground to pool, through green house, garage, dryer, hot water tank and into existing gas furnace that you have taken out gas burner and replaced with heat exchanger. the liquid is antifreeze so that it can handle heat and not freeze if fire runs out. load with 4 foot logs a couple times a week. So through heat exchangers it can heat anything. In my area it has to be 100ft from house, need large lot

   You really have not done your homework…have you. I think we are talking 2 different things. Around here, in SE Penna, we have these who buy a woodstove at Homedepot, put in a (cold) S/S chimney, burn the thing less that 700f, and wonder why they have a creosote problem. Creosote is the volitiles that account for 25-40% of woods heat. SO, this becomes opaque, acidic smoke, that is flammable. IF you have flammable smoke, you ARE polluting. It needs to be burned, PERIOD>>! Write for more info.

   We live in Pa, and the sale of these things, how people burn them, with thick UN-burnt smoke all over the neighborhood, is IRRESPONSIBLE..! The burning temp is too LOW, the stack un- insulated and at least 12+ feet tall, to help the draft. They are generally not lined with fire brick, hence, way too low burn temp. Modify, or expect a rebuff by legislation, regarding the pollution they are creating. IF you don’t believe me, ask an owner for a peek inside, if you see black soot, end of story.

   “anything that burns wood is”…apparently you have not the knowledge of this. IF you should go onto the roof of a ’smoker’ and with a lit rag, put it to the smoke…IF IT LIGHTS..it is WORSE than an oil fired unit…period. I am an advocate of wood burning, but, efficiently, as in complete burning of the wood, solids, gases, volitiles, the whole thing. You can ONLY get this with ‘rocket’ stoves, and masonry stoves/ovens. Please check this out. Masonry Heater Association is worth the look.

   did you ride the short bus to school? wood is better for the enviorment then anything else. id rather burn it then coal, lp, ng, heating oil, anything like that. wood has no petro in it whatsoever.

   these are usually 120,000 btu to 300,000 BTU WILL HEAT FROM 2000-5000 SQ FT HOME.
