It's also illegal to burn coal in an outdoor wood stove in Indiana.
Do they allow burning coal in an outdoor coal stove? If so, then I don't see any reason you can't in an MF series stove since it is as much a coal stove as a wood stove.

Jeez, I keep our barnyards scraped a much as possible so I don’t have to wade thru anymore bullcrap that absolutely required, now you’re gonna make me read thru Indianas wood burner regs again. /wrists


Anyways, I believe Indianas to be much like the Feds, if its a dedicated coal burner then it can be used in Indiana. BUT, it has to be a dedicated coal burner,  like a C series, a MF is a no go as it’s multi fuel. Manufacturer is also required to void the warranty if anything is burned in a coal stove besides coal.

That would make sense on anything made after 2015 but the stove we are talking about was made before that and sold as a multi fuel stove, not a wood stove.

I almost considered hooking everything back up and firing back up...got my first electric bill since shutting and down and HOLY crap...I guess we use a lot more hot water than I thought!!! but, with 3 kids, 12 dogs and wife I guess that's expected  :thumbup: O0

I'm still burning. Pretty much non-stop since '07. AEP makes out just fine without any extra from me.  :D

Yeap I might start burning year round, I only really shut down for June, July and August anyways...then sometime in September I usually fire up..depending on the year. Now, with the addition of the 2,000 sqft puppy building and grooming facility we will be using even more hot water.

W have em here as well, sad part is AEP is cheaper on electric rates than Nipsco who we have. Course, only bright side to that is nobody is cheaper around for nat gas than Nipsco. Course thats only helpful for drying corn as my gas usage is higher in the summer than winter for the house.

 Still burning here too. Don't know how much it saves, but just like water that is really hot, and now with the addition of the clothes dryer just makes me think I need to keep burning.

  D5Knapp, you should invent a dog dryer.

How viable is drying corn with an outdoor furnace? Thinking about their new small biomass burner burning ag waste.

Small one wouldn’t be enough, the burner on our continuous flow dryer is rated at 5,000,000 BTU.

We don’t have AG waste to speak of.
