Heat your home every winter without oil, natural gas or wood and for a fraction of the cost.
Getting Off Oil, World news Sunday, July 21st, 2013Oil, natural gas and wood prices keeping you in the cold and in the poor house? Want to save money on your electrical utility bill and still keep your house warm? You can heat your home, apartment and cottage without buying any oil, natural gas or wood and lower your electrical bill at the same time. All you need is a wood or propane stove, a thermostat, some electrical wiring, an electrical power cord and a mass produced stove element. Have the cooking element installed inside the wood or propane stove. In the middle of the stove where you would normally stack wood to burn.
What you are building is a cooking element heater. An oven if you prefer. A lot more heat is generated from a cooking element than from any baseboard or portable heater. That is why you install the element inside a mass produced wood or propane stove. To prevent a fire. You need to install a thermostat to the system to control the room temperature. A thermostat will turn off the cooking element when the desired room temperature is reached. It will turn it back on “automatically” when the temperature drops below the desired room temperature.
Have you ever noticed that the kitchen is always the warmest room in your house, especially around meal times? Your cooking stove produces a lot of heat when you cook your meals. Enough heat to boil water and burn meat to a crisp. Your baseboard heater can never boil water or cook food even though they use a lot more energy than a cooking element.
With this system you need to only power one heating element not a half dozen baseboard heater heating elements. When you incorporate a fan into the system the hot heat from the stove will be forced throughout your home. A fan makes this system into a forced air furnace. A system with a 1000 watt cooking element installed will generate more heat than a half dozen 1500 watt baseboard heaters, at a fraction of the cost. A half dozen 1500 watts baseboard heaters will need to consume 9000 watts of electricity whereas a 1000 watt cooking element forced air furnace will only consume 1000 watts of electricity. Do you see the savings?
This system produces a lot more heat than any electric fireplace or electric stove manufactured today. A lot cheaper to build too. If you incorporate the Drive-Charge ™ self-sustaining electric generator into it, the cost of electricity will be practically nil.
If you already have a wood or propane stove the cost of building one of these is drastically reduced. If you don’t have either you can buy one for cheap through for sale ads or you can buy a new one and get many years of use from it. Unlike when you burn wood or propane you don’t need a chimney or stove pipe. There is no ash produced so the inside will always be carbon soot free for years. You don’t need carbon monoxide detectors either. You can place these stoves anywhere in the house.
Something to think about when you are going over you wood, oil, or natural gas bills. It is cheaper than all of them. It produces zero carbon emissions. It isn’t toxic. It won’t add to global warming and you won’t get sick or dye from using it as there are no toxic fumes produced.
As an extra bonus you can also cook food in and on it. Install an oven rack inside and above the cooking element and as you heat your home, apartment or cottage you can also cook pizza, chicken, fish, a roast, a turkey, a casserole and even bake bread.

Here is a simple test you can do, to prove to yourself, that a cooking element produces a lot more heat and is therefore more energy efficient than a baseboard heater.
Turn on your cooking stove element as you would to boil water but without placing a pot on it. It heats up very quickly, doesn’t it? The cooking element will begin to glow orange in color. It becomes almost the same color of molten steel or volcanic lava. That is because it is very hot. Do not touch the cooking element as it will cause very painful 1st degree burns. Turn off the stove and go to any one of your baseboard heaters and gauge how much heat is coming from it. Not as hot as the cooking element and it isn’t glowing orange as does the cooking element. Even though the baseboard heater consumes much more electricity than a cooking element it never gets hot enough to glow orange.
