Nice clean ,dry,, open basement loaded with wood love it.We built our house with the wood burning furnace in mind. The firewood comes in through a 1/2 height door in an egress well with a chute installed that the firewood slides down.
The wood is stacked in this area right next to the Caddy. I pile about 4 1/2 cords down there, more than enough to heat the house for the full season.
