Many years ago this old house was heated by a Wonderwood circulator in the cellar that was ducted in. As upgrades came the stove was taken to the wood shop/garage and has provided heat there for about 15 years. The other day I put some hedge in it and I had to open the doors - the thermometer said 109.
Well, yesterday I discovered just how much terminal rust the old girl had. I installed a pot bellied stove in there today. It just isn't the same, but I was not going to spend $700 on a stove for the shop. I'm too stingy. I'll be comfortable but not in short sleeves.
Anyway, I am going to put in a wood burner back in the house to supplement the heat pump. There is no fireplace left and I really don't want to carry wood through the house to where the chimney is anyway. I am seriously considering an outdoor wood furnace that I can duct in. I run the HVAC fan year round so I could duct it in the trunk line and get good circulation.
Do any of you use such a setup? The neighbors had one growing up and loved it but theirs was not ducted in. The hot air entered through a large vent in the side of the family room. I don't think I want that look.
Oh, and I have to stay warm in the house so I can go out and chore every morning. On the tractors. See, it's related?!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
