Emergency Heat.

<p>A few more thoughts. 1) Anything you can do through a window opening, you can of course do through a wall. 2) A good material to wrap around a stove pipe going through a window or wall to plug the cracks, if there are too many of them, is "welder's blanket", a fabric which will not burn. Look for it where you can buy welding supplies. 3) In some cases, you may be able to make the chimney (stove pipe) as just one straight pipe, going out and up at an angle.

<p>After looking at a video about tent wood stoves, I think I know more about putting stove pipes (chimneys) through holes. 1) It may not be necessary to close the window space around the chimney completely. Gaps between the chimney pipe and whatever is closing off the rest of the window space might be okay or even desirable. Depending, of course, on how big the gaps are, how much fresh air you want coming in, how cold it is outside and what direction the wind is from. Of course, if it is -30…</p>

Depending, of course, on how big the gaps are, how much fresh air you want coming in, how cold it is outside and what direction the wind is from. Of course, if it is -30 outside, you will want smaller gaps and may need to stuff the cracks. 2) It may not be necessary to use metal to close off the window area immediately around the pipe, but obviously you can't do it with anything too flammable, as the pipe will throw. Plywood or other wood wrapped in aluminum foil might do. Thumb tacks could hold the foil onto the wood. I would likely keep the gaps to an inch or two, and stuff with fiberglass insulation. </p> I'm getting information now w…tag:poleshift.ning.com,2022-12-28:3863141:Comment:11553572022-12-28T13:51:31.472ZHoward Boldthttps://poleshift.ning.com/profile/HowardBoldt
<p>I'm getting information now which tells me that heating galvanized metal significantly gives off toxic fumes. Typical air ducting in buildings is made of galvanized steel. I don't know how much one should be concerned about such fumes from an improvised wood stove, but to minimize the possibility, you can initially fire the wood stove outside, along with those chimney pipes that will be inside of the house. Build a big, hot fire in it and let it bake for a while. Then it will be safer to use…</p>
<p>I'm getting information now which tells me that heating galvanized metal significantly gives off toxic fumes. Typical air ducting in buildings is made of galvanized steel. I don't know how much one should be concerned about such fumes from an improvised wood stove, but to minimize the possibility, you can initially fire the wood stove outside, along with those chimney pipes that will be inside of the house. Build a big, hot fire in it and let it bake for a while. Then it will be safer to use indoors. One source says this is adequate. However, if you don't have time for this, perhaps just venting the room for a while will do. If choosing between freezing and fumes, compromises might have to be made.

<p>You can run a small electric heater off a big car battery, or similar sized other type of battery, for maybe an hour. Maybe. The battery will then be dead and useless, so no more heat can come out of it. Heating takes a lot of energy. Batteries are depleted very fast by it. This is why I say posts about batteries and methods of charging them belong in off grid power discussions, not in heating discussions.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>KM said:…</cite></p>

When my off grid system was 12v, I had a junk car wired in to my 30 lead acid batteries and when they got too low, I would start the car and charge the batteries. Now I have a much larger system so I no longer use the car
