I still cook my breakfast and dinner on a wood burning cook stove.If it runs hot close the draft or slide the pan over.WE have an electric range next to it.I may use it in the summer but it sits idle 9 months of the year.70 years old and have spent two winters in a house that didnt have wood heat.I keep a hand pump on the well April thru November and use when I want a cold drink of water.Works when the electric goes off.I have 150 acres of firewood,no gas,oil,propane,coal or kerosene on the land.Fuel oil is 3.80 kerosene 4.50.Gas 3.30 diesel 4.25.Looks to me like a lot of us will be forced back into the good old days,like it or not.I still keep a few cattle and hens.Some advances have been made but some new things are pure poison.No drugs around when I was a kid, didnt have any money to buy them.10 snowmobilers died here this winter.Atv s are chewing up farmers fields and making mudholes in brooks.I can make good buttermilk pan cakes on the wood range.Use real butter and maple syrup.Kept a Jersey milk cow for many years.Ill stay with the old ways.
