Hey Chuck your stoves in the basement ? How well does your heat rise to the upstairs ? Nice picture nice stove

I've got a 2 flue chimney and my stoves upstairs in the living area. But my 2nd flue goes to the basement and I've keep getting the urge to put a stove there. All I would accomplish is heating the basement and the floor above some heat traveling up the stairs to the main level.

Oh yes I miss burning but I don't miss the -25 degree winters I get in January. I do miss a nice cool 45 degree October afternoon and a nice fire in my stove to keep warm !

Yeah, the heat travels up the stairs ok, but I use a small fan blowing cold air down the stairs in the winter and that really kicks in the convection loop.... it's probably not ideal, but with an ICF foundation the stove in the basement keeps the house warm and toasty all winter.... I'm not running the fan tonight though, just using the stove to take the damp chill out of the house... it's been cold and raining all day.....

But I do love burning the stove every now and again all year round; and I particularly like the looks I get when I tell my buddy at work that I had another fire last night! His wife won't let him light the stove anytime after March.... LOL LMAO .... :-)
 
Very cool.

Nope . . . I love burning wood . . . and working with wood . . . but I like Summer even more . . . and not spending the time and effort to keep the place heated.
 
Chuck the Canuck - I have ICF foundation walls as well. Entire 1st floor too. Man do they hold the heat in and keep it out in the summer.

Right on! :-) I love the ICF and if I had my druthers, I'd surely build the entire house with ICF...... but I'll settle for what I've got now.... I just love sitting down there in the basement with a nice roaring fire burning in the stove..... complete tranquillity.......

When I want deep bone reaching warmth in summer I step outside and soak up the radiance of that big stove in the sky.

Copy that, i used to love the summer ,now i love spring and fall
 
Summer is hands down my favorite season, spring second. But we have much more comfortable summers than the east coast and 3-4 month long springtimes often too. Few bugs helps a lot with outdoor activities.

So . . . uh . . . about what I said a few days ago . . .

It was cool and showery today . . . my wife suggested turning on the oil boiler.

Needless to say . . . I fired up the woodstove.
 
I've got another fire going up here in cold, wet New Brunswick again today.
