Cast Iron Stove-emergency use
After suffering through a 10-day power outage last winter I have been considering alternative heating methods. I have a kerosene heater (10,000 btu) and a wood-burning fireplace. These two items worked marginally at best, temps were in the single digits and low teens. I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a small cast iron stove to set in my fireplace opening and running the vent up through my existing flue. Does this sound doable or is it a bad idea and potentially dangerous? My flue is wide enough to accept a 4” pipe.
