Question from Betty L
We have central heat, electric, but want a healthy heating option for when the electricity goes out. We have what I thought was a good wood heating stove from 15 years ago, but I noticed that it bothered me. Used it only a few times. But now I have Reactive Airway Disease, or the next thing to Asthma, my doc said.
What kind of heat could we do in an emergency, that is not so toxic? Looked into pellet stoves, but they seemed to need electric for the fans and circuitry. And propane also seemed to be so toxic. Are there any really tight wood stoves, or propane stoves or what, that would not be a problem to someone with very sensitive breathing problems??
Thanks
Betty
