Do you have a problem Mr. JP? I mean medically.

Hey... I've quarantined myself on my 100 acres... well except when we have to go shopping, or for a motorcycle ride or something. And I don't have a medical problem... unless being slightly crazy is a medical problem!:laughing:

Firewood is not the primary heat source in my house but it is what I use primarily. If that makes sense. I can turn the thermostat up and go on vacation but if I am home, I burn firewood. Trees grow like weeds out here so there is always an easy source of firewood from blowdowns or die offs.

My Grandparents had an old house like that. A coal stove in the basement, a woodstove upstairs, a woodstove in the Livingroom, and finally one upstairs...for a TINY HOUSE! They went through 8 cords of wood per year, or a few barrels of oil.

We moved into it for a year, and the first thing I did was put in insulation. That winter we used (3) ton of wood pellets to heat the house, with a bit of coal in the basement a few nights when it got below zero (f). Instead of maintaining (4) stoves, we heated that house with what amounted to an armload of wood (40 pounds of pellets per day). My Grandparents are dead, but would have been shocked at how easily it was to heat.

It was insane. The insulation cost was $576. For years my Grandparents blew through oil or cut lots of firewood, when just a little bit of money in insulation would have saved them a lot of work/money.

I can relate to this.
I grew up in a classic old 3/4 Cape built in 1730,...... and I still own it.

Post and beam frame, built from used salt works lumber.
Walls and roof are sheathed with vertical 1"+ wide boards (hand made nails).
Beams are mortised, and pegged together.

Siding on the exterior of the boarding is white cedar shingles (red cedar on roof).
On the interior of the boarding, lathe and plaster.
No wall airspace!
Thus: impossible to insulate the walls.

Located on a small hilltop facing West, to the open waters (wind) of Cape Cod bay.
From age 21- 51 I lived elsewhere in this world.
Why have I spent Winters in Florida for the past 25 years?
Spending Winters in Florida is more economical than heating the old house.

Wood is my primary heat source, it's going right now and the thermostat is on med, my thermostat is kinda archaic, it's a small vent that slides from off, low, med, to high, open the clean out door and thats ultra high only use to get stove going or burn coals down.
