Didn't set up the Poll from a functional point of view............tried to cover all the bases I needed. I don't think the programming is such that you can choose multiple answers. Perhaps I should have included an "Other" catagory, but for my purposes, I didn't need that info.

Thanks to everyone who has, and who WILL take the time to participate.............keep em coming!

Stand alone woodstove as my primary source of heat . . . oil boiler as back-up heat . . . and a small electric space heater for the room that contains the boiler room (to keep the pipes from freezing . . . which somehow seems a bit ironic to me.)

I answered *wood stove, but I really use electric, gas, and the Woodstove. It used to be primarily gas, secondary Woodstove, and three rooms with electric. Now it's a toss up between gas and wood stove between which is primary, but when it gets really cold I'll be able to tell a little better which is taking most of the load.

The furnace is rated at 92,000 (92% of 100,000) and cycles on and off. The stove (according to ESW) can put out 75,000BTU, but that would be even and continuous heat... You see why I feel they may be evenly matched. The big deal is that my three story (with the stove down in another split level) layout just isn't conducive to heating only with the stove anyway, so the furnace will be running no matter what I do in order to heat he second floor and help with the far rooms on the first floor.

Looks like I'm the first to chime in with a wood furnace. Sounds about right-I used to tell people I had a wood burning furnace and they'd say "oh you mean a wood stove" and I'd say "no-a wood burning forced air furnace-it blows hot air through my ductwork just like the oil furnace, etc..." Then they'd look at me like I had six heads...now I just say "wood stove" :lol:

When the lil woman is here, I am the heat source, BAMM!
Just sayin......

Voted a couple days ago Soupy, but our main source (and only functional source at the moment.....by choice) is stand alone wood stove.
Hog, it could be argued that when the "lil woman" is there, SHE's the heat source. Of course, we have no way of knowing so we'll have to take your word for it. :cheese:
