We heat our house from end to end with a simple wood burner manufactured by Jotul. Electric heat can get crazy expensive ... just look at the recent news in Texas. Save yourself the headache and bills !!!
This type of wood burning stove is very efficient for heating and we were lucky to get one. Here, Mootsy and I show how to service the stove and get more efficiency with use of fans. Where do the ashes go? I will show that too. We can use the ashes to our benefit and here's how. What kind of wood? How dry? Yes, all that and a few more tidbits of real life useful info to help you heat your own home and save money on your Winter bills.
How to create a Thermal Conveyor with simple fan use demonstrated. This causes air to naturally circulate in a more efficient way without forcing air through ducts or pipes. Cool air is more dense than warmer air so we show how to use this principle to your advantage. Our Woodland Mills sawmill makes "off-cuts" which we use for kindling heat. Of course, I run chainsaws as well and select cut saving what we can for firewood fuel and create defensible space around our home from forest fires.
Having the fuel wood you want for heat is also important and takes the right kind of planning and work. Splitting wood with an Axe is good physical exercise -- skip the gymn.
Mountain living isn't easy, but this is the best way for us and we are self-sufficient that way. When the power electric is down from major storms, we are able to survive comfortably this way in a remote place. Please be kind to others. Stay healthy and frosty my friends. Thank you for watching.
