Yep keeping the central heater off and burning wood
Usually 58 degrees down stairs in the mornings.
58-60 up stairs during the night.
Funny when it first turns cold 65 feels cold then you start getting acclimated.
I use an old wood burning insert in the fireplace and it does NOT have any catalyst.
I burn dry wood.
I need heat and flame to get good heat from the thing .. green wood soots it all up.. so I do not use that.
Anyone here heating on the cheap?
Yes cheap as I get my wood for free.. if you must buy wood it is probably cheaper to use the central heat.
I get the house up to 68 or so down stairs before bed time.
