I started burning wood in the 60s, but never heated 100% with wood until 1979, when I bought my first old farm house in central NY. Started out with a home-made double-barrel stove.
We now heat the house and a 3 1/2 story barn and workshop 100% with wood. Original part of the house built 1820. Not very tight. Main heat in house is a big Myers 4000 Woodchuck furnace with a room built around it and a basically fireproof chimney that I can clean from inside. Barn is heated with an old Thermocontrol 500. We heat all our hot water with wood also.
This photo was taken around 1983. Truck is a 69 Dodge Power Wagon with a GMC cab stuck on it, along with a Ford box. I still have it, and use it. 318 V8 and 4.88 axles. I still use the Sthil saw in the photo also.
Also early 80s. My little kid on my Deere 540 skidder. "Little kid" is in his 30s now.
My new "little kid" standing by a nice hemlock tree.
Same new kid helping me measure a 13 foot circumference red oak.
Same kid with me getting wood up on the hill with my 94 F250 turbo-diesel

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
