I am enjoying my Morso Insert beyond my wildest dreams. I love burning wood now.
Here are some "burning" questions.
1. Is it illegal or not recommended to put a wood stove in your bedroom? I'm thinking of our master BR, which is cold now that the insert heats up and shuts down the call for heat from the furnace. I'm trying the "fan toward the stove" technique but have not passed judgement yet on heat redistribution.
The idea of having a small stove in my bedroom sounds very enticing.
2. The floor in front of my insert which is oak gunstock is 130 degrees at 25 inches in front of the door/hearth. The insert is 12.5 inches off the floor. Is this something to worry about? The dog loves it too at this distance. At what temp would I expect them both (dog and floor) to ignite?
3. When I shut down my primary air, the flames around the wood seem to diminish or disappear but the secondaries keep going. Is this what is expected and proper? I'm partial to leaving the air wide open as I am dazzled by the "fires of hell" appearance inside the box. I think I would burn a cord of wood per day doing this. This insert eats wood voraciously when humming.
4. I have a nice piece of art above the stove beyond the the recommended clearance. I have no mantel. The picture gets hot and I'm afraid it will melt. Does anyone have a recommendation for an "invisible" or "visually acceptable, wife pleasing" alternative?
5. I am an urban professional. I am having trouble. I am constantly thinking about procuring more wood, stacking techniques, building a wood shed, and buying a pick up truck...etc. I have spent more time on this website than....(insert job requirement here). Is there a convention I can go to? Wouldn't that be cool?
Cheers
