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.

I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
