How safe is a wood burning stove/furnace?
Filed Under wood stoves
kimmer asked:
My husband wants to buy a wood burning stove to heat our home in the winter time because of the cost of propane. He will have it installed in the basement (concrete floors) and he said the radiant heat will flow upwards and heat the entire house. My fear is that our house has tongue and groove knotty pine throughout 75 % of the upstair’s ceilings and walls. The knotty pine has been stripped and varnished with polyurathane from when the house was first purchased around 9 years ago. My fear is that the wood stove could catch the knotty pine on fire. He thinks I’m being silly, but I’m just trying to be cautious. What are the pros and cons of a wood burning stove for heat?

Tell him to check into a corn burning stove. They’re much safer, less work involved and cost less to operate.
I’d think it would be ok. If you’re that worried, look into a pellet stove. They heat as well or better than wood stoves. Plus, you can get pellets in different scents and will make your whole house smell good. We have propane out here too, and it is very expensive. Just make sure whatever kind of stove you get is properly vented, and you should have no problems. I’ll list a site below that has information about them.
