Okay, so as a last ditch attempt, I've tried an oil heater and it's just not heating the bedroom sufficiently. What with the snow and very low temperatures, the house is really cold, other than the room with the stove. Even with heaters, the rooms don't retain heat once the thermostat has...

It's a bungalow and I am living in it, hence trying to make it comfortable. But with only the wood burning stove, I can't go away for the weekend, or at least not for a whole week (e.g. I want to go skiing this winter). It sounds like oil-field radiators may be the best way to go. As...
