Was wondering if placing a woodstove in the basement wood supply. If you are getting smoke in the house or you stove just don’t seem to be burning like should Check the door seal and latch for a tight fit Check the ash pan for shut tight and latched if all doors seals are good and latched Most pellet stove are negative air (inside of the firebox is.
Anyone watch homestead rescue raneys ranch on discovery channel I was watching it last night and the fathers house had a bit of a chimney fire that got out of hand and they completely lost their cabin on the homestead they have been working on for most of the show for the last few years Our wood is piled a good distance from the house and buildings We have a carport and in front of the car is a porch that leads into the house It is now time for me to build a stack of wood next to the porch (actually i have a small pile now but the big pile is yet to come). You can try bracing it to the house by attaching steel brackets of some sort to the chimney and structure of the house to buy you a year, maybe, but even then i wouldnt want a couple 2x4's to hold up thousands of pounds of brick and masonry
78 yo house, 2 ft thick uninsulated masonry walls, full daylight basement with walkin on north side (bummer), massive concrete foundation with basement stairs, laundry room floor, and two porches all poured along with the foundation The front of the house faces south, but the south. The part of the house with the non accessible crawl space has no plumbing or wiring under the floor So what if i just pumped those areas full of foam My worry would be trapping moisture where i dont want it causing rot and mold, which i hear is a major concern Hmm, my first thought is that sounds like a lot of foam, and expensive.
The stack was lower than my house and it would set off a smoke detector in my attic The town elected to work with him and after he put in a 30' extension on his stack it became far less of an issue Obviously making your home tighter will reduce the smoke getting inside If you have a chimney and are not using it, that is logical thing to seal. Personally, our small stone house retains enough moisture from cooking, washing and breathing that winter humidity is never an issue The ovens keep humidity at a good level
