I have an opportunity to put a huge old hot air blower type wood furnace outside my home and at a distance that’s safe for my home, from the possibility of fire from the (insulated) flue, and run an insulated air duct – or possibly two; one for return air, one for heat, into my home to heat it with, as this spring, we had a tornado that blew down 3,000 local trees, so wood is easy to find and much cheaper than natural gas, propane or electric as a furnace heating fuel. I’ve searched high and low online for info to convert, or rather to insulate the furnace with fire-proof or high heat insulation and cover the furnace with a sheet metal shell, (so as to not make a huge building to put it in, but more or less, a self-contained unit), to protect it from the elements of winter and make it operate more efficiently, but have found nothing but info and ads for ‘outside wood boilers’. I was going to put it in my 10 x 10 metal garden building storage shed, but the storm blew it away. Now I’m faced with 48 – 52 degrees F indoor temperatures while running an oil-radiator electric heater in one room, an inadequate income to buy a new wood stove that’s EPA Approved and UL Listed to have professionally installed inside my home, and when I run my gas furnace, it sucks outside air into and through the house (I imagine, for combustion), in spite of much insulating, caulking and sealing I’ve done, making the house drafty and cold, and in spite of putting out warm air (kind of defeating the purpose of having it on in the first place). … However tonight I learned that by creating a suitable sized outside air intake to the combustion area of my gas furnace, will reduce or eliminate it sucking cold air from outside into my home, and in the process, burn less fuel, and heat the house more efficiently. So anyway, can someone please make a suggestion what should be used for high-heat insulation, to cover my furnace with, i.e., especially, the air jacket, (which is a heavy 1/4" plate steel box that’s welded to the fire box surrounding it), and operates cooler than the fire box temperature?

Would like to hear from folks regarding alternative sources of heat. I currently have a heat pump. Would you add a gas stove/fireplace, pellet stove, coal stove or wood stove? What experience have you had with any of these sources.

i know that Wood stove fuel pellets are great for litter trained rabbits becasue its not harmful and its less dust, but i don’t however know where to buy any. every website i have personaly tried, either doesn’t sell it. or i can’t figure out where to buy it. please help. thanks.

Thinking of using my brick chimney to exhaust a pellet or wood stove.

I am inquiring about putting a wood stove and conceting it to my fireplace in the basement

I had a wood stove given to me, and then I was told I had to get a permit to install it, and the stove needed to be certified by the EPA. This stove is in good condition and was used up until recently, the people I got it from just upgraded to a pellet stove. It doesn’t have the EPA cert. tag on the back of it, but it has all the other tags, for installation and such.
Is there any way to get it certified or be able to use it? We are on a fixed income and freezing! Last year our electric went up over 0 a month, and we just can’t afford it this year. We live in Oregon if that makes any difference, and it is an Olympic stove.
Thanks in advance.
I have all the piping, except for the part that actually goes through the roof, and need to install the firewall. I have all the instructions for what I need to do, and for safety. The thing is the EPA Cert. I have heard I can’t install without one?
