Damn productive day! I've spent the whole day moping around the house with te damned gout, you called it

Dude... get some Cherry juice. Will solve the problem.

Which is convenient, considering where you live.

The ole' cherry juice always does it:lol:

Cherry is probably the best wood for burning unsplit, which 90% of mine is. Suprised you dont have a wood boiler given your "lifestyle"

I would if I had water baseboard heat. With the forced air units, you almost need a basement to put the woodburner in- huge pain in the ass to get it connected to the main trunk, combined with a return. (We don't have beasements here, only very low crawlspaces.) If I had water baseboard heat, I'd have an outside furnace in a heartbeat.

He would have to take out another mortgage just to buy it the way the prices jumped from this years unnatural weather. Cherry products have triple if not more in some products, I've heard $25 and up for cherry pies

I'd live it if we had more hickory around here, but it's pretty rare. Cherry's nice, but I prefer a faster burning wood. I don't have a big enough fire box to take advantage of the slow, steady burn of cherry.

For me I've found well seasoned oak with a little locust walnut and hickory mixed in burns hotter than hell for me. Then again almost all of my oak was standing deadwood then split and stacked for twos years or so. Only problem I have is finding somthing that'll burn thru the night.

Wish I had something to burn wood in.

If I ever owned a home up here or anywhere that required the heat to be on for more than 2 or 3 months I'd want to heat it with wood.

Around here the boilers go outside, plumb an underground line into a heat exchanger on your furnace and the boiler just smoldered until there is a all for heat, then a fan kicks on and te flue opens. Real efficient

I've got a PAC unit. On the ground. Pain in the ass.

[jehler]

I don't know what a PAC unit is boss

[assateague]

Heat and air all in one unit. I think they were invented for trailers, honestly. Convenient in a way, no inside unit and outside unit, no condensation pan, no lines to run, just ductwork.

Package unit, around here used most often on commercial roof tops. Very seldom used in resi.

Bingo jehler. My wood boiler is In the garage. Heats house and garage. Smoldering green wood keeps the boiler at a perfect 150 for me
