My Outdoor Wood Burner CHEAP HEAT!!!

A brief description of my outdoor wood furnace. This particular stove is a HEATMOR Model 200CSS. This stove is capable of heating up to 5000 square feet (my house is only 1600 sq/ft). Although an outdoor stove is has an expensive price tag (mine retails for $7,300) they will pay for themselves in about 5 or 6 years. Last winter my propane expense was around $600/month. I can heat my home with wood for about $100/month if I buy it pre-cut. If I cut my own, it would be even cheaper. An outdoor wood stove is also better on the environment because it reduces our need for fossil fuels, and wood is a renewable resource.

where do u live that heating with propane could cost u 600$ a month. I live in northern canada where -30c is our winter average and our highest bill on natural gas is a 100$ per month. the house i live in is 25 yrs old and no new windows or anything else like that.

@dexterquincy1 Natural gas is way cheaper than propane, and if you live in northern Canada, you're probably close to the source of gas, thus rendering it cheaper. Right now propane is $2.07/gallon where I live, and we go through it quite a bit.

Dude fire it up, lets see what your doin to your neighbors.

@NardeBanks Don't have it anymore. I moved next door to that house, and the smoke rarely bothers me. I'm usually upwind from the stove, and it burns almost smokeless most of the time.

@skyypilot01 They do have cleaner burning gasification stoves that are EPA I & II compliant. Are they gonna outlaw them as well? It's a crying shame when the gov't says we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and now they outlaw something that would do just that. They are HYPOCRITES to the core!

That is a dirty burn, look at that wood just smoldering. Not efficient at all, please if you are going to burn wood get off your butt and split it to a proper size and allow it to season till it is dry enough to burn (less than 20% moisture). That thing is a creasote machine!

@dexterquincy1 Wow, Must be nice. Just got a $250 bill yesterday :( Northwestern Ontario here.

how much wood do you use per winter

[thesoulsekr]

@thesoulsekr I'll also add that the furnace was functioning as it should. When the draft fan is off, which it was in this video, the wood isn't supposed to burn. Only when the fan kicks on is when the wood is burning, and efficiently at that. I didn't use much split wood because split wood has more surface area and the fire would burn too hot creating excess gray smoke.

@cudabeenios1 That 'thing' burned almost smokeless last year. Thanx for the input though.

When you get it up and running, be sure to post the video!
