I live in a 28x60 rambler with a walk out basement. I have a Bixby that I am burning wood pellets in. I also heat with a newer LP hot water boiler/base board heat. I expected to see a big decress in LP use but last month I burned 150 gallons (last month was warmmer than average in MN) while burning wood pellets mainly at night for 10 to 12 hours ea night. boiler is newer, hot water heater is new, I do have an older gas dryer. I have put in adequte insulation in the attic, new windows and new vapor barier behind the siding. Anybody else have experience with a simular set up?

I have a Bixby 110 in my Family Room. The room is 20x28 and it will heat this room on the lowest setting to 90 degrees. I have a floor oscellating fan sitting in the 4'x7' cased door opening that leads into my Kitchen but I can not draw enough heat out of this room to suppliment heat in the other rooms of the house, plus I dont like walking around this fan all the time. I was thinking about cutting some room to room fans into my walls(www.iaqsource.com/product.php?p=broan-nu...785&category=885). I want somthing that will not look to out of place, not noise, and that does not let to much sound tranfer from room to room. Has any done this? Is this a good idea or am I going to regret it? Would it be better to put them by the ceiling to pull the hot air or by the floor? I would love to pull the hot air from the ceiling in one room and then pump it out at the floor in the other but not sure how I would do that.

I am looking for parts and a possible service person near Silver Lake, MN. (Hutchinson, MN)I have a bixby that is leaking soot into the house, I checked the exhaust like many suggested and did not see any leaks but resealed the joints anyway. I am willing to do some minor seal replacement if I can Identify that as the problem and can find the parts. If it gets complicated I would like to hire someone to fix it, I am just tired of the soot and want to make sure it is taken care of.
