Michael:
I love your woodstove! You have the glass doors so you can watch the fire without having to open the door to check the fire’s status. This wood stove is of course much more efficient than the woodstoves my Grandmother or my Great Grandmother had.
Also I think their woodstoves were not completely black but had some kind of lighter colored porcelain covering in the front. More feminine colors! The woodstoves also had round plates on top that you lifted up using a wired lifting handle.
I do know they sure used a lot of wood! That was one of my jobs. To get more wood for the woodstove. You know “just in time” wood!
When my Father was courting my Mom on the farm, one of the tests was to see if he could split wood for the kitchen stove! My Father didn’t think he did a very good job of it, but obviously passed the test as far as the women folk were concern! I am sure they were slightly biased!
Do either of you have any direct experience with a wood furnace? I ordered the Central Boiler Classic Edge 560 HDX Model (for delivery in August). My goal is to eliminate propane as the primary source for heating the boiler. The boiler serves/fuels my Tekmar (Canadian) radiant floor heating system which is the big “draw”.
Firewood up here is plentiful as all the Conifers are dying due to extreme heat and drought. Oak and Madrone are also available (hard woods good for the furnace).
