[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3712354, member: 15054"] I paid $400 for my wood burning insert used. Country Flame brand. I stuck a 1/2 seasoned wood log in it last night at 10PM and had coals this morning and it was blowing about 65 degree temps. I do not have a thermostat on mine. Removed it and wired a simple fan switch to it so I can adjust the fan speed. Tiny single fan does not take much energy to spin. I love this thing so much if I had to pay 1200 for one I would do it. My rent house next door has one also and i had another one that I loaned to a buddy he said the heat feels different than the central heat . It feels more comfortable with the wood heat to him. My aunt has one in her house in Enos OK. Hers has a catalyst in it as did the one next door to me. It is very hard to get those to draw. I removed the catalyst in the one I own and it does very well now. If you do it to save money then do not get a pellet one as you will need to buy pellets. I do not buy wood EVER! there is wood everywhere you look for free. I burn dry wood as it will not soot up a chimney Green wood will. Now onto the NATURAL GAS COSTS. I have my bill in front of me from September to October -2020 and the cost/DTH = $ 2.957. ........................................................................ October to November -2020 ........................................= $ 3.217. ....................................................................... September to October 2021 .................................... = $ 5.977. ........................................................................ October to November 2021 ...................................... = $ 7.793. ........................................................................ December to January 2022 ........................................ = $ 7.330. I did get a piece of paper with my bill that stated the price was going up. Their guess was $ 1.45 per customer and I assume this meant cost per DTH. Yea it is higher than last year and the year before. I had a stack of dry wood in November that was just about 6 Tall x 6 wide x 8 foot deep and now it is closer to 2.5 feet tall. I remember one winter I burned 10 ricks but mind you this is very dry wood with oak, pecan, ash, maple, pine and cedar in it. [/QUOTE]
