You might change your tune after running those new BK's you got, I was able to reduce my wood consumption by 20% last year.I'd like to find someone selling in that form near me. I could go thru one of those truck loads per year, without trying.
I'm still burning $4k in oil, in addition to all that wood. No way will I reduce wood consumption, but the BK's may enable me to reduce my oil consumption, using the same amount of wood.
I'm also running three heat pumps, and one zone electric baseboard, in addition to all that wood and oil. I'm heating a small village.
Gotcha, let me ask the question? for that type of house what not a OWB with storage?Just counting heated space, we're looking at roughly 6660 sq.ft. in house + 1200 sq.ft. in workshop. The shop is superbly insulated with 6" spray foam in roof and 3" - 5" in walls, but the house... not so much. Prior owner of this house owned an oil company, so all their restoration work favored maintaining historic components (main house built ca.1773) over improving energy-efficiency.
I'm guessing the home has no means of getting the heat from the hot water to the air. OWB's work well in homes with existing hot water radiators and can be retrofitted to work with forced air heat systems by adding a heat-exchanger. In a home with no hot water radiator or forced air heating how do you get the heat to the air?Gotcha, let me ask the question? for that type of house what not a OWB with storage?
We have an oil-fired boiler with six zones of baseboards, so no issue there. However, I heat with wood as much for the ambiance, as anything else. I'm not doing all this work, felling, bucking, hauling, splitting... to hide the fire outside in a shed or in the basement. I want to sit by a stove on a cold winter night, damn it! If I can save money while having that... well, that's just a bonus.I'm guessing the home has no means of getting the heat from the hot water to the air.
