When I was little we rented a house from a farmer with gravity heat. A lot of old houses didn't have forced air heat.
.. and that was a lot closer to you. In Delaware.

My buddy has one of these. The oil unit's pump circulates the hot water from the wood furnace. I don't think you can vent it as this picture. I'm pretty sure it's a big no-no!
no venting would be a big fail if that was ever inspected

The outdoor ones smoke like mad. Need some space from neighbors. The indoor ones burn hot and clean.

That's what I thought too. If they both kicked on the negative pressure would draw gas back in the house.

So am I correct in assuming that you have to keep putting wood in it? Or is it one of those pellet things?

It probably would be OK most of the time but an inspector would freak out. I might do something like that myself but if I did I would definitely have a carbon monoxide detector.

The outdoor unit can take huge logs and can be filled only 2 or 3 times a day. The fire kind of smolders until it gets a call for heat, then a injector will throw in air raising the fire's temperature. Most will burn around 10-12 cords of wood per season. That give you hot water too.
The indoor use a lot less wood but it has to be very dry and split as regular firewood is. Some units can give over a 8 hour burn time.

Interesting. Learn something new every day. Who said NF2 was a waste of bandwith? Lol.

Confusing pervertWood burning, add on hot air furnace. The hot air is connected to the plenum on your other furnace.

I have a wood stove in my basement but no forced air. It just provides radiant heat for one room. It is vented by a separate chimney also.

They smoke because they are made to operate on "smoldering wood" not a roaring fire. My neighbor has one and he only has to load it up every other day. When operating properly they don't smoke all that bad. Within a couple miles of my house there are probably a dozen of them going. If I could get my wife to cut, and haul wood and stoke the fire I would have one but in the mean time I will just turn the little round knob on the thing on the wall that makes my electric furnace kick on.

Almost made it until 12 before being told "I will never use UPS again" and "I am not mad at you" but then proceed to cuss me out

I think so. Usually it happens within about 20 minutes of opening on Saturday
