Hardy / not heating home consistantly

« on: December 27, 2013, 01:52:52 PM »

I recently bought a 4200 sq ft, 1860 home with a H25.  I can tell you what I do on a daily basis and also tell you what appears to be wrong.... I'm looking for answers as to why I can't keep the temp in my home at a steady (or close to) 70 (warm temp) degrees. I fill the stove twice maybe three times a day.  There is always smoke coming from the stack. I recently saw smoke seeping from the door of the stove. The home has 3 t-stats. There are baseboard heaters on every inch of every wall of the home.  I recently installed what I was told to be the largest  pump possible for my stove.  And replaced the grates. There is no hot water pressure. And at move in I installed a whole house water filtration system.  A smaller version from Lowes.  I've been told to burn green wood..... I've been told to burn large wood.  When I burn the large wood... it really has a problem heating the house.  Any suggestions are appreciated.
