Temps. around here drop below -40 Deg F. in the winter.
With a good fire going in the wood stove the inside temp.
near the ceiling peak is probably 80 or 90 deg. F. even with
a fan going. A lot of heat to keep snow off the roof.
How strange. Why would the ceiling be so hot with a ceiling fan going?
Is the stove red hot, with no insulation in the house walls? :-)
You want lots of R1/inch snow on the roof, no?
How can it melt with that 2" air gap?

Nick, you seem to have no experience heating a house in a cold climate.
Wrong.
... of course the heat rushes to the peak of his vault! ever heated a
house with a wood space heater?
Sure. Ever studied basic physics?
Nick
as a matter of fact i have...but what's your point? you were arguing
that it shouldn't get hot up there by your calculations.
