Cheap Wood Burner

[FROG MAN]

I'm looking for a cheap wood burner for the camp. I'm accumulating more fire wood from fallen trees and limbs then we can use in the fire pit. The old house is only 800 sq ft and I'll only heat it when camping on occasional weekends. Got hunting season coming up through December and I like to start spring work projects in March so being able to camp during chilly months is nice.

 

I'm looking at the vogelzang frontiersman that tractor supply sales for $399. It comes with a 110 volt blower and 102,000 btu adequate for 1000 sq ft. I'm not sold on this stove. It's just available close and within budget. Last year there was a run on stoves due to heating cost increases. I can only imagine what this year will be like with fuel cost rising.

 

Next weekend I'm putting a new floor down in the old kitchen and then I'll be ready for a stove. The old kitchen had a wood burning cook stove years ago and thats where this one will go.The master bedroom is next to the kitchen so I could curtain off the living room and spare bedroom to reduce necessary heating space. I got a wheelchair ramp right to the front kitchen door. Makes for rolling a first gen in easy. An other ideas on stoves?

Maybe a corn furnace but corns up also and you probably dont have alot of corn in easily available in WV.. Sounds like a good project.

I'd go for it. Only God knows what the cost of heating will be this year. Plus if you can get the bike inside.....Hmmmmm. Just think of the possibilities.

Sale the spare wood , collect the money and buy another 2nd Gen ! Ride down south where it is warmer during the cold months .
