When I moved in I found a wood stove, then living in Birmingham means that my pal and I do get periods of cold, however to own a wood stove seemed odd, the previous owner had it all vented to.
The woodstove sat on a stone pad in addition to was vented through the wood ceiling to the roof.
They even added a stack on the roof. The wood stove was scrub as a whistle when I moved in though. They actually never used it, and all the apartment photos featured that design though. They were actually proud of this heating system, and i tried using it once. The heater was worthless for the Birmingham colder afternoons. It could barely hear the residing room. It took up so much space in addition to burned wood, and do you know how quickly fire burns wood? Insanely fast. After doing an Alabama winter I realized that I would never use that woodstove again, then so I sold the system to a guy that wanted it for a hunting lodge in Birmingham. I then had to rip up the stone pad in addition to redo my flooring, and next was removing the venting in addition to patching my wood ceiling… Finally I had to call roofers to remove the stack in addition to maintenance anything left behind. It was a lot of time, work, effort, in addition to cash to remove a heating system that just wasn’t too impressive. I can’t think that somebody thought it was a fantastic idea to have a woodstove in Birmingham, AL. The winter seasons do get cold, however they don’t get that cold. Not enough to have a supplemental heater that is.
