our insert has a blower that really warms up the house. but it sounds like a damn jet airplane. only turn it on when we are not in the room.
The little keyhole thing is supposed to be for burning Green Wood ...Right on. So that brings me to my next question on the Vigilants where do you set the secondary burn "keyhole" flapper wide open or? I have been running it about 1/4 position open and the damper in the vertical position.
I'm a little surprised that more people have not mentioned ceiling fans. If you have quality brushless ones that have a true slow speed, they are tremendous at getting room heat distributed. The huge plus for them is that they are whisper quite.
I'll grab more pics tomorrow as im working on it,
Many masonry chimneys can be inspected fairly easily by using a mirror and a high powered flashlight to look up the cleanout if the top of the chimney is to difficult to access.
Lovely.
Does having the whole house at a perfect temperature ( too hot for me , but perfect for the mail order bride and the dog) and being able to run a hottub of the system count.
We do have a stove for those really cold days ( which we never see, since the climate has gone to Spain) or for when the mail order bride goes in grandmother mode, and wants to knit in front of a roaring fire.
But honetsly, central heating is it.
