[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3067679, member: 15054"] I have a wood insert in my fireplace it has a blower on it and will heat the entire house. Wood is free everywhere if you know how to find it. I trim trees for people and keep the wood..so basically I get paid to have my fuel to heat the home. Pine or Fir will leave very little ash. You can stock up on those when people start building houses. All that scrap leftover from a home build is usually free if you just ask nice for it and stay out of their good stuff. Many places have free pallets also. and they stack nice. Harbour freight has a 2000 watt continuous inverter usually can get it for $189 or less. It will power a mig welder and it will power a fridge and TV with all the video game stuff and the lights in the rooms both are in. I loaned mine to my son and a battery when the Moore tornado knocked out electricity for 2 weeks at his home. He hooked jumper cables to the Ford Festiva ran them to the battery and ran the leads off the inverter to the battery. turned off all breakers and made a double male end extension cord.. plugged it into the wall where the Fridge was and powered everything on that circuit. Too simple really. I will not buy something to heat my home when i can get good free stuff. Burn dry wood if you want a lot of heat and a clean flue. My wood stove is not really very efficient I put a catalytic type in my rental home and that one is very efficient. Burns 1/4 of the wood to get the same job done. One very cold winter I went through 10 ricks of dry wood.. a mild one figure about 6 ricks if you do not mind keeping a jacket on inside the house. [/QUOTE]
