We installed a wood stove in the living room last fall that is rated to heat 2500 SQ feet... which is more than our entire house.michaelf » 29 Jun 2023, 4:27 am » wrote: ↑ Even if the grid could handle it...heck our power goes out if it even looks like the weather might turn bad. LOL I spent the day and night before our worst storm last winter getting my gas generator wired up and running. It took plenty of starter fluid and a respectable supply of gasoline. My gas powered car and generator are my fallback for when the power goes out. Just what I need on some windy subzero night...no heat, no power and no way to travel to where there is heat. We'll all be installing wood or coal stoves and stockpiling fuel on site just to survive the winter. LOL
Anyway, even if the grid could handle it, a lot of people with 100 A service to their home (especially those in older homes) are going to have trouble running a charger at home.
Not only will it heat the entire house efficiently, we did a couple pots of soup and some chili on it last winter and it did great. I'm gonna try bacon and eggs this fall as soon as we get cool weather again.
Its nice to be able to keep the house at a comfy 75 degrees when it's well below freezing out without having to run the heat at all.
