MY woodburner is in the basement.I LOVE
the uneven heating associated with wood.
A warm place when I'm cold from coming in from outdoors. And easy to get away from when I;m running a bit hot.
Plus, a great place to stand with my honey, backsides up to the stove, arms around waists....;-)
But what I mean by uneven is after fixing it, it gets HOT, and you dont want it to stay HOT so you choke it down, then by the time you fix it again, and it gets roaring again.....it gets HOT again.
Not to mention....you stoke the thing good at night so you still have good coals in the morning....Leaves you going to bed with a very very warm house only to wake up in the morning and its cold....(unless you fix in the middle of the night). So it takes awhile to warm the house back up....then its hot again....rinse and repeat...
So maybe "uneven" was the wrong term, rather temperature swings.
With my Geo, I never have more than 1.5°F fluctuation. With wood, its easy to see a 10°F several times a day.
