to save heating cost i’d like to put a wood stove in my trailer but i’m not sure of i will run into any problems like restrictions or things of that nature, i’m also worried about the safety of it where trailers aren’t built with the durable of materials i can see the floor and walls wouldn’t take much to become hot i want to make sure i make it as safe as possible. do you need different material than you would if it was put into a stick built home??if so what would they be and if you could possible give me some price estimates as well it would be great..thank you for any information you can provide me on the subject.

We have a basement fireplace with a wood stove insert. The whole thing seems pretty light. We have toddlers and I want to remove it for safety and put a fireplace screen in it’s place, but would like to be able to put it back in a few years. Is it pretty easy to pull the screws out and move the whole thing, and then screw it back in later? Or would I need to buy a new insert to surround the stove or have a professional come to put it back in? Thanks in advance!

I want to know if I can put a layer of tile backer board on top of my wood floor, slate tile on top of the backer board, and my wood burning stove on top of the tile or does the tile need to be elevated above the floor? The stove is a Drolet HT-2000 The owners manual is unclear on this it states "Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. The floor protector should
be under the stove, eighteen inches beyond the front and eight inches beyond each side of
the fuel loading and ash removal opening."

Thanks

Here is the deal. There were some maple trees on the side of the road for free. The trees were laying in poison ivy. I brought them home and cut the wood up 2 weeks later than got poison ivy. The plant oil must be on the logs. Is it safe to burn them this year or should i wait until next year when they are completely dried out? I have a indoor wood stove. Thanks!!

We bought our house in February and used the wood stove everyday through April and off and on in May. The last several times we used it a noticeable burning metal smell was present as if someone left an empty pan on the stove. We just used the stove this last week when we had an unusually cold night and the smell was much worse. The previous owners of the house didn’t clean or maintain anything, so I don’t doubt we need to do a thorough chimney sweep, but why does it smell like burning metal now, and why didn’t it smell for the first 3-4 months of constant use?

So I got a wood stove and I constantly have to pay for cords of wood. So I decided to cut up some wood off my grandfather’s land, but I need to know two things: how do I pick the right trees, and how do I store it to cure over the summer?

I have a wood stove in the garage getting hooked up this week. It has the fire bricks on the sides and on the bottom. Should I get a grate or something to keep the fire off the flat bottom to get more air?
