Wood Stove Burns Gas
 ✖  |
Michigan farmer Ralph Johnson bought a state-of-the-art wood stove a few years ago to heat his older farm house. Even though it was equipped with a catalytic converter to make it function more efficiently, he says he found wood burning to be time-consuming and expensive.
So he decided to convert the stove to burn gas and says it was one of the best decisions he's ever made.
"We put a gas log fireplace unit in it and ran a gas line to it (you can see the gas line on left side of stove in photo). This stove now heats our entire house with almost no maintenance required. We set up a box fan behind the stove to help circulate heat through the house.
"It costs only about $60 a month to heat our house, even in the coldest part of win-ter. We only use our regular furnace in zero degree weather or colder."
