I already have wood split and stacked for next year, not much i can do about this year(i tried), but next year should be better. Just like i read on here many times i thought that when fall comes its time to get wood for the winter. Wrong! never again, I plan to get years ahead on wood. also i planned on finishing my basement at some point. Now i might start that one much sooner. I do have ducts running throughout the house so getting that cold air to the basement should be possible. I thought about getting an OAK system, but they said on-line that if i have good draft then i shouldn't get one. I'm going to run the stove a little hotter now, we will see how much that helps. one last question, how long of a burn time can i expect to get with this stove? I haven't been able to go to work or bed without the stove pretty much going out.
always try to get your wood in the late winter/early spring.....and if you can, split it as soon as you cut it.....I find that helps dry it out faster, maybe because the cells in the tree are still 'alive' after it is fresh cut and they help evacuate some of the water in the tree...sort of " starve theirselves" if you will....lol....
