Maybe if we went back on topic, the thread could continue. How many BJ Members "burn wood" for heat as of winter 2012-13?

Family next door does as many others. No appliance for it here yet. Wood is abundant. Elecctric heat very reasonable locally, too . It would be nice to have a high efficiency wood stove and a Honda generator backup to get through power outages such as the big ice storm of 98. That was bad. You need to burn a tremendous amount here under normal conditions to offset the higher insurance premiums. As you mentioned earlier, there is no comfort like wood heat to remedy a chill to the bones. Used it for years in our younger days. And, on a brutally cold day like today -30 , I miss it.

I did get some wood-burning training in my youth. I was in charge of fetching wood and cleaning the fireplace. My first encounters with "woodpile spiders" happened about that time also. FF into my moving all over the place during my railroad career, I usually had a place with those nearly worthless electric wallboard heaters for heat. I moved to Whidbey Island into this loghome where there was this woodstove and a gigantic fireplace for heating. Never had to "order" wood before. Actually I thought it easier to just buy a chainsaw and whack-up all the wood laying around the property. Well that was an experiment that lead to burning a lot of "green wood" which does not produce many BTU's. Lessons are being learned. But next several stops had me in the electric wallboard heat again. So my current/last stop is the place where Mrs Krink and I settled. It's had the woodstove for heat for the last 22 winters. In that time I met the best "woodguy" in these parts. Delivers every fall the best firewood you can burn. Of course this part of the problem with the "wood-burners" is it usually a "cash-only" thing in several different ways. The woodguy does this because he can earn money that doesn't get reported... "no W-2". I can can heat my home all winter without a gigantic power bill. But how much wood I burn or how much it cost me are not "part of the statistics" they can collect. They want a Borg population where all are connected to a "hive-mind".
