Default 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.

Neighbors had a small pot belly heater in their single wide trailer. 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?

Quick, call the police! Somebody stole all of the punctuation keys from
your keyboard. I think they grabbed the upper case key also.

No, just dumb as a box of hammers. The writing supports 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.
