Propane Camping Stoves Dedicated for the camping lovers trying to find that perfect camping stoves

Replacing your heat pump is cheaper than installing a wood stove. Yes, you can use a thermostat with the wood stove. It would just control the blower motor. You may be able to use your existing duct work it just depends on what you’ve got. The wood would be cheaper to heat but remember if you let the fire die down then you have no heat…..you will need to feed the stove day and night….personally I would rather pay the power company and get a good night’s rest.

We put an Empyre II in two years ago, its an outside wood boiler, and we burn a loggers cord every winter, which for the past two yrs has cost us $300.00, this yr it went up to $350.00, but we heat a 4 bedroom 2 bath , 2 floor home that is 2000 sq ft, it is thermostatically controlled, and when it drops below a certain temp, which it rarely does, our furnace takes over. Wood heat is a warmer heat, and very economical. They are pricey, we paid $8000.00 for the stove and installation, but with the rising cost of heat, its already paid for itself. I say that cause people are filling their propane tanks every 3-4 weeks during the coldest part of winter, at a cost of $1200-$1500 per tank. So wood boiler is definately the way to go, if you can install yourself, you can probally get away with even a smaller version, we bought the larger model, because we plan on hooking the detached 3 car garage into it eventually, plus it cost us just a bit more than $2000 to have it installed.
