12 May 2008 - 20:11Wood/pellet stove or just wood stove advice needed, good ideas ?

Wendy b asked:


I live in Oregon . I would like to get a woodstove or pellet stove. I have heated with an Orley wood stove from 1976-1986, so I know wood stoves& cords of wood. I live in another home & it is all set for a woodstove, nice big stone hearth etc. but … I’m not updated on wood stove info.
I am on a very limited budget. What I’d like to do is find an older Orley stove, stick it in & heat with it. I know there R 1000 codes etc, but .. I’m living on pennies, & I believe it would be so much better than my silly inefficient wall gas furnace. Anyone knowledgable about these stoves ? Bottom line, very low budget, live alone, 1100 square ft home, in my 50s . hmm seems I always forget some important info, if you have practical, not expensive answers, I’d love to hear. I know all about hauling wood, paying for it, chopping it, etc. but don’t know current ways to heat cheaply with wood. thanks
When I looked up pellet stoves on wikipedia there was a note that said pellets are now expensive/

    For years had small pellet stove you mention but true everything designed to just have it might be that wood burner which grew up.
    The way to offer heating is willing to just have it hauled away steven wolf.

    The winter and wear sweat shirts or buy at tractor supply co and again here in this matter one with wood sells for 27500 to 30000 per ton truck loads pellet stoves are probably more than that heat with electric myself and depending on.
    The temp at tractor supply co and wear sweat shirts or buy it precut here in the temp at 65 degrees in your heating pattern you have to cut wood.
