Hey brother MS-310 , welcome to the pack and glad to C you come over to take a look around an also to your first post.

Now when you say "add-on" EPA wood stove , you mean like hooking into your furnace ducting or just an EPA wood stove ?

 

[MS-310]

Hay spike.

Yes one that will hook up to my duct work down stairs.

What is your threshold for pain on price? What you are looking for is an indoor add-on wood furnace and very few of them are EPA certified since they are exempt from the certification requirement. There are a few out there that are certified but they are pricey.

It is not EPA certified. It is made by U.S. Stove Company and here is the poop from their website. There was one guy here on the forum that wasn't all that thrilled with his.

The one I have thought often about buying is this one:

It isn't EPA certified either but the one guy that I have seen on the Forum that has one likes it. Goes for twelve hundred or so at Lowes and Home Depot. If you live somewhere where Sutherland Lumber has stores you can probably get one for less.

Welcome,

you still haven't given us an idea of your budget. You will need to do some research since this technology is not simple. There is a not a simple answer - but there are some good units that will work and do what you want it to do. Can you spend $6,000 to $10,000. If not, it will be harder to find a non-smoking unit, but still can be done with a lot of research and consideration to how you will be operating the unit. For unattended, non-smoking, you're price will go up.

So you guys baby site all of your wood stoves?

Anyways is an add on going to somke alot? Like just say the non-epa hotblast or clayton stoves at TSC?

They seem to be popular around here but I really don't know jack about them.
Sorry must be Friday.


How much smoke you get with this type of stove is going to depend a lot on your wood and how you run it. Wet/green wood and you get more smoke, in warm weather a large load of wood that you try to slow burn for a very long time is going to make more smoke.

This would be your best and cheapest option. I would recommend looking into one of these.

My wood coal furnace smokes very little on startup. You just need to get to know how to operate what you have. Good seasoned wood, and good hot fires.

No, but a wood stove and an add-on furnace are two different things. You asked about an EPA rated furnace. 1200-1500 will not be enough. Either adjust your budget or adjust your expectations.

Sounds like there are some here who are using wood furnaces and can help you work through the details.

Thanks guys for the help....looking at the clayton type stove at TSC also....I will be looking alot. thanks again

Ms-110 I'm looking to replace my old unit now and after much deliberation I believe I'm going with the Woodchuck they are very well constructed. The 2900 goes for around $2600. I'm going to call around tomorrow and see if I can get a little better price. As long as you burn well seasoned wood and don't jam every log in the box you can just to choke it down and make it last you shouldn't have very much smoke. Just make sure your chimney is tall enough to get your smoke well over the roof peak and the wind will do the rest. Good luck with whatever you decide on and please keep us posted. Welcome to the forum ... Lots of good people here with a wealth of valuable info and ready to share with anyone who needs it (or will listen).
