We're looking at massive inflation and I guarantee the cost of NG, propane, fuel oil and electricity is going to go up, up, up! It IS political, so we need to deal with it.
I'm on 342 acres with nothing but a little brush between me and Lake Ontario. The heating season runs from mid September to mid May. Most of my place is either woods or rough pasture with trees. We have no access to NG, solar is a joke here, wind still gets you into $$$ and massive investments. No one outside of a couple of villages with their own hydro plants uses electric for heat. So wood is a viable option. I know they aren't terribly efficient, but I want an outside boiler. I despise forced hot air heat, which is what we suffer with now off the basement wood furnace. My old farm house lends itself rather well to radiant floor heating on most of the ground floor and baseboard hot water elsewhere. Plus, my power bill runs at least $300 a month year round because of hot water heating, so a boiler with a domestic coil helps there too. I already have over 30 saws, a buzz saw, tractors, splitters, etc. What I want is to get the smoke, dirt and risk of chimney fire outside of the house. A boiler makes sense.
I'm almost 62. The day I can't do wood will be the day I start the decline into my grave!

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
