Radiant heat, whether from radiators or wood stoves or whatever, are best, IMO. I've always frozen with forced air heat, hate it.

Right now, it's air heat via heat pump but it's not as bad as oil or gas forced air, for some reason, probably because the vents are up high instead of down near the floor where they invariably sent a draft down the back of my neck. This blows the stratified warm air across the ceiling and down toward the floor instead of blowing the cold air across the floor and up to the ceiling.

Hot water radiator systems were OK as long as I remembered to bleed the air out of the radiators every couple of days. Steam radiators were the best. The place just got warm and stayed that way. I didn't care about the clanks and hisses.

Glad you enjoyed the routine, the dance routine was the best one I found.
