Re: Me Woods No Good
Sapper, to me it looks like your wood burner is well under size for your needs if you wanted to heat the whole house with it. As a rough guideline, to heat a 300 metre house effectively you would need a 40 to 50 kilowatt heat source. If you look at an average medium/large free standing wood stove the nominal output is only 9 kilowatts. If you open the damper you might produce a little more heat, but at a cost, most of the energy in the wood will go straight up the flue. If you wanted to effectively heat 300 metres with wood you would need and open floor plan and one hell of a big stove (that would probably be unbearable to be near), or multiple units.

Re: Me Woods No Good
Exaclty my point . Its localised heating of a room or nearly a room I am not knocking it i love it but its ornamental even at 12 Kilo watts. I think the only way to heat the house with wood would be to set fire to the house.
I have a energy efficient house but at this size i would have less time than a stoker on the Titanic if i tried to heat with Wood. Its dusty ,timeconsuming, uncontrolable. But i love it, does not heat the house though, and never can unless i put a wood burner in each room :) |

Re: Me Woods No Good
Blimey!
We were only talking about wood and look whats happened :lol: |
Re: Me Woods No Good
Well when you next have your wood delivered next or go to collect it insist it is by Buro .When you next put petrol in your chain saw or lubricate the blade use olive oil it will last 2 seconds. We have gone too far down the road No pun intended to live a life on a mountain scratching a living out of the land thats why the spanish sold us these plots and left to have a better life.I keep telling you i love the burner ,i love the life here but i am not freezing to death trying to convince myself that a woodburner will heat a house it wont. Or that if i use wood Iraq or Saudi Arabia will become a democracy. It will heat one room effectively the rest of the house is freezing .If you want to discuss the merits of charcoal table heaters well now you are talking.
I use no artificial heat from april to end sept relying totally on solar for hot water, we all do our bit. I think that mitigates my 19 litres of oil per week average or equivelant 16 euros per week average. I was born in Lancashire you could not see a finger in front of you in the 50s/60s when people burned coal .That was what brought out the clean air act.. |

Is your idea of a proper heating system is one that relies on the tyrannical regimes of the Middle East or the speculation of the parasites of the world's money markets? Personally I'd rather see my hard earned cash go to the hard working small man in Spain, rather than it be wasted by rogue states on their war machines.

Inherited some with the house. Then a friend of ours cut about three poplar trees down from his land before he went back to France and gave us those. About a month ago, our neighbour Miguel knocked down his extension so that he could build a new one and gave us all the wood from the timber framing. We have enough to last at least this winter. This will be our our fifth winter. Hope we get lucky next year as I think it is really expensive if you have to buy it. We don't light the stove every night, it is not our sole form of heating; it depends what room we are in. http://bestsmileys.com/flowers/14.gif |
