Summary:
"Using the latest technologies to stay warm safely, cleanly and efficiently.
Wood
Heat
is a comprehensive and
practical
homeowner's
guide
to using
wood
as a reliable source of
heat
with the latest
wood
stoves and traditional fireplaces. The book explores the efficiency of
wood
compared to other fuels, the environmental impacts of various fuel types as well as sustainability issues that have led to so many adopting a wood-burning lifestyle.
Heating
with
wood
does more than keep a house warm. Though it can be a hands-on expression of self-reliance, it does bring us closer to the land by using fuel that is renewable and sustainably harvested, and renews our wonder in the cycle of the seasons. And the biggest benefit is that
wood
heat
saves money in the long run. There are four ways that
wood
can be used to
heat
a
home
or cottage:
wood
stoves (the most popular), fireplace inserts, pellet stoves and masonry heaters.
Wood
Heat
explains the pros and cons of each. The book provides all of the information and advice needed to convert to a wood-heated life. How-to topics include step by step directions. They include: The comparative advantages of
heating
with
wood
; Buying, cutting, splitting, stacking, storing and moving firewood; Building the perfect woodpile; Varieties of
wood
and their burning characteristics; The latest technology for burning
wood
efficiently and cleanly; Energy content of
wood
varieties per air-dried cord (BTUs); Catalytic and non-catalytic stoves; Cooking with a
wood
stove; How to make a good fire; Essential hearth and fireplace tools; Sizing wood-burning appliances; A chimney maintenance checklist. Currently, over 10 million U.S. households use
wood
as their main
heating
fuel or to supplement other forms of
heating
. Unstable, increasing fuel costs and the desire of many people to move toward self-sufficiency will only increase the numbers of those choosing to burn
wood
for
heat
.
Wood
Heat
is the ideal
guide
for all."--From publisher.
