General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Keep the heat *IN* your building!
« on: November 20, 2014, 08:33:42 PM »
Have been reading here for some time now, and I must say that there's a wealth of good info.  Am planning on building my own unit soon this year, and will be using ideas found here.

BUT,,,,,,,, one of the most confusing and frustrating things that I keep reading here over and over is things like: "it's heating upwards of 10,000 UN-insulated square feet"
"my windows are very leaky" 
"only have about 6" of insulation in the attic"
"haven't had time to go around with a can of foam and seal up the air leaks"
 etc, etc.

Come on, guys.  You need to fix the your building envelope!  Why spend all that money on such a large furnace when 1/4 to 1/2 of the heat is being wasted?  And burn all those cords?
It just doesn't make sense.
