Keeping Warm

Post by diamond lil »

I'm finding this very interesting, esp further down the page where there are pics of home heating systems for cold weather.

Loving this Rocket stove, and the rest of the videos done by the family:

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

What a cracking read that was.So it would seem that our two stoves ( our main space heating) along with the infra red panels is the way to go! Modern ( and even our old cottage) has far better insulation these days.Folks back then wore more clothes too.Perhaps something they should start doing again?
