My only concern is this, and it isn't just from me, but the builder, the wood burners put out alot of unseen pollutants and soot to the air. Before you know it, your cabin walls and furniture are stained. You did it right by not connecting to heat vents. I am looking at doing the same thing, but will put the wood burner on the lower level and vent out the concrete block of exposed basement. No connection to furnace ductwork, I'm hoping for heat rise to warm the entire 2200 sq. ft. from bottom up. I sure have enough wood with all the birch dying with drought conditions around south central Vilas Cty.
