    Heating a big house
    My house is 1800 sq ft and made of the old bricks all the way around the foundation and walls of the house. The problem I have ran into is heating the house. I have 2 pellet inserts but it seem that no heat goes into the back bedrooms. I do not want to turn on the electric heat any ideas would be great.:):)

    I would get a small to medium space heater to take care of the one bedroom where you have the problem, unless that is not the only area than needs some more heat.

    One more idea is to place fans in strategic places to MOVE the air around the home.

    I would start with a ceiling fan or two installed in proper locations to circulate heated air in rooms... then maybe add a smaller room fan to try and pull heated air into the poorly heated room.

    It won't help much, but should help some!
