out thru the flue. One of the most inefficient ways of keeping warm.



Keep my place warm and cosy all winter long with my stove. Heats my hot
water as well! 60 gallons is enough for even my long showers, and if I crank
up the fire with a few good logs, I can shower for a hour. With 160 acres of
trees, I'm never short of a few old dead sticks.

Beats the hell out of a $600.00 power bill for a quarter, even if I have to
chop a bit.

The original poster was talking about an OPEN FIREPLACE not a stove as
you are talking about.
