I guess that I don't know what part of the country you are from, but I heat almost 6 months a year. Much easier to pile the wood outside next to the boiler and just go out twice a day to stock it.

I should also point out that my wood boiler was lit TODAY! Low tonight of 32 and a high tomorrow of 53. I will now burn until late March at the earliest. Other advantage of the boiler is it heats my domestic hot water.

Tim,

We had a wood burning stove at our lake house with a fan built in to circulate the warm air. I certainly wouldn't rely on it for whole house heating ( we had in in a "great room" with vaulted ceiling). It was very nice to augment the furnace though. The particular one we had had a very big glass front with a gold frame so it had the "ambiance" of a fireplace. We enjoyed it, but there wasn't enough heat to rely on as a primary heating source.
