Hi all,
It sure does sound like you all know your stuff. My grandparents live in a pretty big house (about 4,000 square feet). They have 4 fireplaces throughout the house, all seem to be pretty sturdy, made of brick. They were thinking of buying a wood burning insert for one of their fireplaces which is in the room below the stairs to the bedrooms. They are hoping that if they put the insert the heat will travel upstairs, if they shut some doors downstairs. They are aware that that insert will not heat the whole house.
I heard about these wood burning furnaces. Right now they have oil heat the runs hot water through baseboard heating. Considering the insert will not heat the whole house I was thinking if they get this furnace they will be able to heat the whole house.
Any thoughts on what you all would do if you were in this situation?
Thanks,
Frank
