Come on in and sit around the fire with a number of colorful characters who, like the Cartalk Guys, can answer ANY question regarding wood stoves,coal stoves, fireplaces, chimneys and more ....but don't be surprised if your answer contains a little more than you were asking for!
For the wood stove credit on form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, you want Part II Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, Section B, Residential Energy Property Expenditures Any of the tax filing software will probably fill out the form for you. I did mine by hand, so if you want the line by line instructions, let me know. Thanks so much!

Just have a few questions about a wood stove that I have in my basement. I have never used any type of wood burning application before until I moved into my new home which have a pellet stove and a Temp Wood stove in the basement. I got my pellet stove running really well and all thanks to the forum members.
As others have said, the stove will use more wood. However, we have a wood-stove-heated house, and I don't recall ever deciding not to light a fire due to high winds. I broke down and bought a Davis weather station last year, and I recorded a high wind of 115 mph last November. The stove did fine. That is an unusually high wind, by the way.
