Woodstove Recommendations

[Adam Helmer]

Fabs,

I have a 60-acre farm in northcentral PA and 30 acres are wooded with ash and maple. I heat my home with a woodstove in the livingroom. I have gas hot water baseboard heat as backup. It takes me two weeks every Spring with a helper to cut, split, stack and cover 4 cords of firewood. It cost me about $200 total for fuel and labor to lay in a year supply of good firewood.

I like the alternative heat source. I do not find wood to be "dirty" and have heated with it for 16 years. It suits me. Pellets are an alternative. I would check with a local woodstove company and be guided accordingly.
