I installed a woodstove at me cabin in WV (will be permant home soon), I bought it at tractor supply so I don't think it is a very high quality stove. I have a lot of questions and this is my first post her so I don't know if I post for each one or put them all together.
1) the wood stove I have will only burn for three hours and does not have any way to control the airflow besides a damper in the pipe, is that normal?
2) The stove has a seal around the door and I don't see and smoke coming in but the whole house still smells like wood smoke, Is that normal or is it just becasue of a low quality wood stove
3)I have a limited amount of wood available without paying for it, If I need a better stove should I consider a pellet stove instead? I can get wood for about 125.00 a cord or wood pellets for 225.00 ton, would one be cheaper than the other?
4)my house is a SMALL two story, 1100 sq feet total, How can I get th heat upstairs?
Thank you
