Wood stove in a trailer
That's a thought. I knew a couple people with wood
stoves, same deal. Too hot, leave the main door open. Heat the sky. Needs big pan of water on top, keep the humidity livable, else you get nose bleeds and dry skin. .. Christopher A.

It stayed so hot in the trailer that they had to leave front door open all the time. Pot belly stoves are not the most efficient stoves in the world, but they do get warm. The heat was probably a big fire hazard, so would consider the hazards, and have the ability to get out of every room, even if it takes chopping through the wall to get out. |

Friend of mine might put a wood stove in his trailer. He's considering safety factors, and what to do in case of fire. Years ago, I considered it. Check with my insurance agent. The increased insurance cost would have wiped out any heat savings. As to fire protection. I've heard of folks put a wye on the laundry cold faucet, and hang a garden hose in the laundry room. I figure with a trailer fire, the steps are 1) get everyone out, 2) call fire dept, and 3) you have about thirty seconds to put out the fire before you're dead in there. Anyone else have experience to share? -- . Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org . actually if youve never been in a mobile home fire then you dont know how it works mine burnt down back in 2008 when i was 17 and home alone i was in there for about 5 minutes trying to put it out before the flames even reached the living room from the kitchen and the doors dont play much factor if the path way is on fire its the windows you want just thought i would up date that |

Trying to fight a fire in a mobile home you're in further supports that. Actually, it's a level below dumb as a box of hammers. |
