I am interested in this venue because I have had a wood burner in my house for decades and yes even a small BTU stove can cook you right out of it, windows open and it's 90* inside & zero outside, and I only run the fuel oil burner once a week to keep moisture out of the basement & system, so I do have experience with installing and using firewood stoves in a home but it can be messy, but I'm torn between pellet stove and the ease of it, but at $240 a ton vs. free firewood, just have to cut & split & stack, problem my back is shot but would have to carry/ move pellet bags regardless so....
