hey jim, I put a johnson, made I think in wisconson, I got it from HUD-SON up in barneveld ny,,
I put in the bigger one I forget what the square footage was for it , but it is big enough to do the house and the shop (when I buid it). I figured it would pay for itself after 3-5 yrs ,, I have all the wood I will need up on the top of the property,
It will use a bit more wood than an inside stove, but , all the mess is outside, no smoke dust, bugs, etc in teh house, no hauling wood inside, I had a wood shed close by the stove,, now I use trailers loaded and placed in front of the stove , a whole lot easier to load that way,,
the cost of my whole unit I am putting around 8,000,, the piping is expensive, you need two runs of it with no spices, @ about 2.50 a foot,, plus the main circulator pump was 500, and I have 4 zones @ 250 each,, approx,,,,
insatll was probably 1000, give or take,,
I put my pipes 5 feet in the ground, figured that would be deep enough,, and only put the round insulation around the pipes, [this is made for the pipe--both runs lay inside and it close around them],,,, IF I was to do it over again, I woudl maybe build a box and stuff it with insulation in addition to the round piece, I do get a little heat loss thru the ground towards the middle of the season,, not enough to make a difference in the heat to the house though,
I love the outdoor stove compared to my inside wood stove I had in the old house , as it is connected to the baseboards and the WHOLE HOUSE stays warm , comapred to the inconsistancies of the wood stove,,
I did put a back up propane "woodstove" in the living room, just in case,,

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
