If you have to buy wood I'm so sure it is a practical solution for heat. I have plenty of wood available from fence row trees cutting limbs to clear equipment each year plus all the dead wood to cut. Rarely cut a live tree. If we do it is for logs to make lumber to build sheds or something else like that. Then we don't waste the tops either cutting them for Wood down to about your thumb size also. Though at times I think the old buzz saw would be more efficient for that smaller stuff than a chainsaw. You can cut several pieces at once with each pas of the blade. Dad and I talked about if we would have enough dead fall stuff along with other wood for both of us in the past when he put in his wood furnace since it would do all the heating now instead of having some oil heat. That was over 20 years ago and still no problem with dead wood for heat. And everything makes heat junk wood like Boxelder and Pines.Yes grandpa planted a bunch of pines on some steep slopes with the Cat to pull the trans planter 60 or more years ago. We cut Christmas trees out of the tops of some of them for decades and now are cutting the dead ones for wood. It has thinned it out some but still has a lot left. Wood does not necessarily make dirty air and I don't mind wood smoke smell, better than the garbage burning I used to smell around areas. Electric heat is just not an option in most places and the grid can't supply the amount you want everybody to draw from it with electric heat even if the hoses were insulated a foot thick and so tight you could hear the air rush as you open the door to go in or out. You need coal to make steel for those housings for your fine batteries you so proudly purport to every body hoe great they are. Those nice cars you want to drive around and all those other products you want /like so much all have steel in them and they need coal for the coke to make it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
