Can I convert an existing wood burning stove to gas?
You may find a log set burner small enough to fit into your stove or have a custom burner made to fit. You’ll also have to get the gas into the stove without compromising the integrity of the stove. The door must be removed so as not to melt the gas valve or the controls outside the stove. Q – What is seasoned cordwood? To heat an area of 1500 to 2000 sq. ft . would you need a fan system? How many hours does a single load of wood burn? Can you connect to forced air system even through an existing wood burning fireplace chimney? Seasoned cordwood is hardwood that has been dried out for at least a year or more. To heat that space you would need a fan. Burn times vary as to the unit and the type of wood used – anywhere from 8 to 18 hours. With a free standing unit there is no real way to hook up to a duct system, the more sophisticated built in air tights have duct take offs.
