So happy I heat with wood, we have not been any where normal temps since some time in Oct 2013 a day or two. We have been mostly 20F below our normal temps and the wind has been really bad. I even broke down and bought a heater for my deer blind and I've been deer hunting since 1952. I never even had a blind till 2003 when I built my first one.
Our house had a electric furnace and a wood add on furnace in it when we bought it. I at one time went shopping for a natural gas furnace to replace the electric one. I canned that Idea when the wife just kept making excuses why this one or that one just wouldn't be a good one. Now she can be warm still when the power is out and we don't have to worry which bank to rob to pay this months electric bill. I used the electric for one month in 1995 when I was really really busy at work. When the 420.00 bill came I bought the wood I hadn't had time to cut my self.
I also have the ashes that came in so handy after our recent ice storm. I spread them in the drive way the path to the pole barn and honey house, I spread them around the mail box to give traction on all that ice.
