A window unit in the bedroom has been fine for the few days it's needed here. Was thinking of doing radiant heat from the cellar awhile ago but never seriously pursued it.
you should see the rocket stove on permies.com
when i move to my farm this is the way i'll heat .... Most wood stoves heat up fine but the majority of the heat goes right up the flu pipe.
The rocket stove sends it around awhile then vent's it using about one 5th the wood. Just a thought.
I will still have a GAS back up on a thermostat for when i am away from home.
