should I supplement my oil forced air system with my propane direct vent fireplace to save money?
Oct 15, 2007 by cmate
with oil prices going up, I am trying to weigh my options for heating my house - I have an oil burner furnace, with hydro air, and also have a propane direct vent fireplace. does it make sense to try to take advantage of the fireplace to save money?
Prices of both propane and oil fluctuate so one is not necessarily cheaper than the other.
Your forced air system is more efficient in heating the home and the fireplace the room it is in. So if your strategy is to keep the room warm and the home cool it will work, if not you will have a warm home and an overheated room.
Why can't a wood burning stove in a garage be vented liked a direct-vent fireplace?

I realize direct-vent fireplaces are gas operated but I thought if I constructed an air intake adjacent to the hot chimney and ran it to the stove it would act in a similar manner; however, I was told this can't be done but wasn't given an explanation. Could someone clear this up for me?
Just to clarify, I would have the burner exhausted out the side of the garage AND the air intake would be adjacent to it, like a direct-vent fireplace.
Well the wood burning stove in a garage theoretically is in a location with other flammable materials and or fuel in your car. Wod stove, sparks, fumes = BOOM.
THat is why code requires electric outlets to be 4 feet off the ground in a garage.
If you will be doing any wood work you have a second problem. Build up of sawdust in the air. A guy was killed with the same set up. Wood dust in the air, opened the wood stove door to reload, dust detonated (yup DETONATED) killing him.
So please ponder the location and other factors before using a wood stove in the garage.
