Answer
My furnace uses a lot of wood. What should I do ?

1- The thermostat that controls the intake vents is trying to increase the heat and is probably placed to closed to a source of cold air.

2-The air intake is not adjusted correctly.

3-The house is possibly poorly insulated.

4-The ash drawer is not closed correctly.

5-The furnace is too small for the area to be heat.

6-There is inadequate balance of the ventilation system.

7-It is too cool where the thermostat is located.

Relocate the thermostat. Adjust the chains linking the air intake valves to the servo-motor. Rebalance the ventilation system so that there is more output in the room where the thermostat is located.
