We've been burning wood since the first oil embargo in the early 70's. We've burnt wood here pretty much exclusively since 98. Oil would run me at least $6-800.00 a month, maybe a lot more. Electric is already over $300.00 a month with no electric heat used. We've already added the insulation we could, story and 1/2 home built in 1880's, added good windows, etc. It's not economically possible for us to use oil, electric or propane. Not and still pay the mortgage, taxes, etc. and eat. I sometimes put 20 gals of diesel int he tank and run the oil, 20 gals lasts about 2 days this time of year if it's not real cold.
We have a wood furnace in the basement. We have insulated stainless chimney pipe. I clean it once or twice a month in the winter. As it is I've had 3 fires I know of. I love insulated chimney pipe, even if it is close to $100.00 a section now. One fire I had I put my hand on the outside of the pipe. It was hot, but not burning hot. Love that stuff. I want an outside wood boiler. It's the most common sense answer to our situation, it's just very expensive.
If I lived in a little, modern house in town wood might not make any sense. Out here, with more wood than I can possibly burn standing dead, anything else makes little sense.

It looked so fornlorn amongst the lineup of newer equipment. But it was just the right size for my small farm. I stopped in and asked the proprietor for further information. "It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
