Never said I don't like or don't use electricity.
Actually, I'm very grateful for it.
Just don't like to waste it or use it
when I don't have to or want to.
And, I am not prejudiced against electricity.
Electric power in my area fails several times
a year including each winter. If I were dependent
on electricity for heat, I would be SOL, sometimes
for days. For me, one of the main reasons
to have wood heat is that it lets me, in a small way,
function more independently and lessens the amount
I pay to the power company. I grow the wood, cut and
split the wood, dry the wood and I burn the wood.
So, when when the power failure occurs, it's no BFD,
and I feel good.
I just asked why run a fan blade (when you
don't have to).
As for 'indoor weather', it comes from hot metal
stove surfaces creating superheated air (room air
on hot stove surface), currents and drafts (convection)
accentuated with the inherent metal stove
heating/cooling thermal cycling.
Add a fan to compound the natural convection from
any wood burning device and push air around the
room increasing air movement, you have 'wind chill'
not to mention needing more BTUs.
Aye,
Marty
