Log Cabin construction
should I insulate a logsided cabin with wood heat?
I am building a 280 sqft cabin which will have a wood stove that heats 1000 sqft, It has a 2x6 vaulted ceiling with a ridge vent and rafter vents, the walls are 2x4 construction with 1 sheet of 7/16" osb on the outside and inside and tyvek and 1.5" inch thick log siding. and 1/4" wainscot pine on the inside. I am asking this because I dont want it to get too dry in there to crack the wood wainscott, I live in iowa where winters can get below zero. thanks
its all open inside still, its basically going to be used all year long for small get togethers. thanks
it will also be stained on the outside and inside
should i insulate the walls and leave it a cold ceiling for venting?
it has a 6inch concrete slab floor
Insulation will not affect the humidity enough to cause any noticeable difference in your structural or decorative components.
You should always insulate. In Iowa, you would be talking the difference of a cord of wood if you use the cabin daily. Plus, if you have individual rooms in the cabin, you will get a more even heating if the exterior walls are insulated.
God Bless
