The alternative is Insulation, Good windows and good doors. This is my forever home. I bought it 45 years ago. Took 5 years to double the size, added a 2 car garage and converted it to total electric using the least efficient heat source, electric baseboard heat. I installed Andersen windows, Insulated doors, insulated garage doors, exterior walls got an upgrade in insulation and 25000 brick. Brick helps keep the house comfortable. It takes a long time for brick to cool off or heat up. Brick are shock absorbers, buffers temp change.
This is my fixed electric bill from 2020-2021. $156 fixed rate per month. I also power my pole barn from the same meter. My garage stays at 55. My most current fixed bill is $20 more starting in Jan 2023.
If I were to add wood heat, my homeowners insurance would increase. I'm too old to want to think of using a chainsaw and burning. Each to their own. I can't think of anyone in my neighborhood that burns wood.
Except for a man who has a boiler. He lives 7 miles away from my country home in the southern part of the county. He loves to take any wood I'll give him. A win for me and a win for him. He has a chainsaw and a dump truck. I have a terramite. He cuts, I load.
I'm not anti burning, just don't want to smell your smoke. I don't want to smell your wood smoke, your cigarette smoke, or your black diesel smoke. I think everyone has a right to breathe clean air.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say?

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
