[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1352683, member: 5151"] We have a wood burning stove in what used to be a third bedroom. The previous owners "remodeled" the trailer and expanded the living room. Those who have been in 1970's trailers know what I mean, as the layout is almost identical from trailer to trailer in that time period. We start burning wood once the temperature consistently doesn't get above 45F. At that point, there isn't enough insulation for the central heat to keep up. If it gets below freezing for multiple days at a time, then we at least consider sleeping in the living room. It just depends on how my asthma is doing. As for ashes, burning 24/7 requires emptying about every 5-6 days (I keep the "ashes" glowing as long as I can). If there's snow or ice on the ground, it goes in the lightest area that's least likely to be used for emergency water. If not, well, there's a big dirt spot that works just as good. We don't stock wood inside the house until we know it's going to snow or ice. At that point, we get as much inside as we can. [/QUOTE]
