I've seen a couple the right size at Lowe's for $600-$700, I just need to see what I would have to do (and pay) to tap into the old chimney from the living room (the original connection is in the crawlspace, where the old coal furnace was).<br /><br />It would make a <i>great</i> supplement to the electric baseboard heat I've got right now.Jake (formerly Riposte3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976718318892210404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-32827396974159008582010-10-08T02:00:57.974-05:002010-10-08T02:00:57.974-05:00There are approximately 22 cords of wood on her pr...There are approximately 22 cords of wood on her property either stacked, still in rounds, or split & piled high waiting for stacking.<br /><br />And about 8-9 cords worth of 30-foot logs still waiting for next year.<br /><br />Plus her old stuff plus the scrap pine and oak and ironwood boards. That's a LOT of wood.<br /><br />Did I mention the size of the burn pile we set off? You could probably see it from space.Atom Smasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717946941636575857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-45215229369149934812010-10-07T19:04:52.828-05:002010-10-07T19:04:52.828-05:00Such a deal!
