Got room for a wood burning stove?

Just a thought that probably isn't an option since I doubt you want to make a chimney.

Corn stoves are a much better solution IMO. My dad's old house was built in 1907 he had a wood stove in the basement and a corn stove upstairs. The wood was nice don't get me wrong, but when there was a wood burning ban he was still good to use the corn, the corn also self fed and it had fans on the unit to move more air.

The other advantage is now there are many corn stoves that can have the exhaust go out the wall and on the outside it looks like a dryer vent, so no need for chimney.

Cool!
I have never head of a corn stove before, but it sounds like a really good way to go if feasible.

yah learn somethin new every day

We have this one: Lasko Digital Ceramic Tower Heater With Electronic Remote Control

We don't run it 24/7... but it works well.

the 900W 3000BTU setting is pretty good.

At 24X7 that will be about 650kwh Not sure what power company you have. In our market that would be $71 a month to run that. And we are one of the cheapest markets in the US.

Ouch $71/mo

Oil filled heaters work well. Be sure to check the cord, plug, and outlet often as they do wear out from use.
