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/
