i ahve been reading allot of info on how to burn an efficient fire ina woodstove.
and I plan on implementign allot of new thigns i have learned.
but i have a wood furnace..should i be thinkign along the same lines?
it is forced air..with a tiny blower, and currently takes air from the basement to burn.
I do plan on startign with outside air inlet for it to burn.
but...what about burn itself?
right now I stock it full before bed and shut the blower off and open the draft a tiny bit so it smolders all night? is that the best way?
heck to be honnest i normaly just turn the blower on till the fire is built good...and then shut it off and let it smolder and burn very slowly...my GF only add 2 layers of wood. i fill it to the limit. about 4 layers up. that way i only need to go down every 6-7 hrs as oposed to 1-2 hrs her way.
the chimney doesn;t smoke allot only on start up, and the furnace is from the 70's and has brick lining.
any advice?
