Fishnwire Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm in the process of taking over my Father-in-law's camp. It's on a piece of CN leased land behind Capreol. There's no power there. I've got a propane stove/oven for cooking and a wood stove for heat. My question is this: Will my insurance company give me a hard time about the wood stove.?..I've heard they'll do that if it is your only source of heat. My Father-in-law had coverage through his guy but he took out the policy 25 years ago and canceled it as soon I took it over. His coverage is through his old union anyway, so I couldn't assume the policy. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snackpack5150 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I had a hell of a time when I bought a cottage that had a wood stove I had to do a WET questionaire and measure the dimensions from the wall,the pipe length and so on and bit of a pain. Since the cottage is 16km away from the volunteer fire dept they factored in the replacement cost as they figure the foundation would not be saved!!! So long story short I am with Gore Mutual and pay a whopping $800.00 a year. Good luck in your quest!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcallister.grant Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The wood stove will have to be "WETT" inspected. Depending on how far out you are, you can expect to pay a lot of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
