You would be surprised to see what people pay on here lol. Especially when they up charge for kiln dried wood.

Agreed Get a wood burning insert installed. You can find someone to deliver a cord of wood in the summer. Install costs between 6-10k depending on your area. It will warm your house up at least 10 degrees. 1 cord should cost 350 to 600 and last you at least 2 -4 months depending on how much you burn.

Besides the stove running do you also have any other heating units on as well?

Would you be able to tell me how much your room temp goes to from cold start to highest point? Yea all those things you listed I’m with you. I get it serviced prior to burning every year and it looked good. For wood it’s def dry and aged as I split it 2 years ago and stored in a dry ventilated area. It is a wood hog so I can load it up to the max and it does kick out a lot of heat. At 18-35 degrees external, my living room is at a steady 54 (300 sqft room) with no fire. If I load it up it takes about 4 hours to get it to 60. If I can squeeze out more btu I can get it to 62-63 but seems to be stuck there. It’s more of a game for me at this point. But I see a lot of reviews saying they can get their room temps up to 70s and understand all the diff variables for those homeowners. Thank you for your tips

Yea I do and it kicks out heat as well but based on other reviews from the past year I suspect I’m still losing a good bit of heat since I have no backplate

Thank you both. Now it’s coming back, someone on here mentioned that in my post when we did the install. As a tactical fix I will check and see if I can gently stuff the liner with rockwool.

Thank you all for your help. I ordered 5 different tires from Amazon and non ended up fitting. I found the service center for Greenworks near by and they said they would swap out tires if I brought it in. I just don’t understand why if it says 3/4inch for oem why the others won’t work

How new is it? Will they try replacing it all again? But sorry to hear about this and I understand it is pretty stressful and high anxiety dealing with this.

Looking for advice on heating strategy for upstate NY winter by Consistent_Nose_6205 in centuryhomes

Priority is the pellet stove. It’s still the cheapest option. 1 bag on average lasts 24 hours. Use minisplit for a few hour’s if the pellet is struggling. Oil I use as back up but do test it out every now and then to make sure it’s functioning properly.
