Off-Grid Living - Wood Stove...

10:51 am - 42 degrees - raining...

Generating heat is always a major challenge when living off the grid, and the number one way to do it, is with wood. 

Once our home is completed, we will have two main heat sources – concrete radiant floors and a wood burning fireplace.  While we’re in the building stage, our main heat source for keeping our home warm in the cold seasons, which is usually September through May, is a wood stove in our main living area.  

In addition to heating our home, the wood stove also heats all our water for doing the dishes, taking baths, and we even cook on it.
