Hey, guys thanks in advance for all your help in answering this question. I am currently renting an A-frame cabin (approx. 700 square feet) with an OLD fireplace insert. I"m burning a LOT of firewood, with little heat to show for it. Currently the stove does not have a liner. Recently, when temps dropped about 5 below the heat in the cabin was about 45 degrees, which is too chilly for my liking. This 45 deg. was recorded in the morning, after sitting all night with the dampers closed. Lets, assume just for grins and giggles that my insulation is adequate.
I have been told by law I have to have a flue liner from the top of the stove, all the way out the top of the stack. My question is will my house be considerably warmer once this liner has been added? I am only making the assumptions with the small size of my house, and the size of my box on the stove, I should just cook my self right out of the house.
Also, will my wood burn time increase? Currently with a full stacked box with dry wood, i get maybe a 6 hour burn with dampers shut down. (At 5-6 hours I"m not talking about the flame is out, but all the coals have died out too) At a previous cabin i used to get 10-12+ hours on a full box.
Any advice you can give me is GREATLY appreciated
! I"m cold! LOL
