[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 484382, member: 3937"] Stepper, We heat 100% with wood that I cut off my land. Free except the exercise. I have a custom fireplace insert, set in cement blocks and brick face. The insert is made of 1/4 inch steel with a dome and 8X12 flue inside 8 inch cement blocks. Inside the fireplace are 4- 2 inch pipes bent to fit the inside. 2 fans with custom attachment blow air into the ductwork to all parts of the house. The unit has 8 inch airspace sides and back. a 1 foot by 40" grill below and 1 above the unit just below a concrete pad that supports the flue. Glass doors with metal frames are big to allow for large round wood, to last overnight. I hired a welder to make the unit to my specs. We're on the 14th Winter. In the basement attached to a forced air blower we have a wood burning stove. We use this to supplement in the cold weather. I save more then enough $ to pay for all my Fall adventures. :D :D I always use dry wood, burns hotter without problems. Oak, birch, Poplar, pine, ash. Anything as long as it's dry. [/QUOTE]
