Since I work with a bunch of machinists that live in the country, I have a fertile field to learn about wood stoves.
I am sorry that I asked. One guy said that he used to burn wood but he stopped years ago.
“Why?”
“Because that became my whole life!”
“What do you mean?”
“I was either cutting it or hauling it or splitting it or stacking it or carrying it or cleaning up…”
As I listened, an image emerged from the recesses of my memory of a long haired biker dude that I worked with in California who was always “going to cut wood” as soon as he got home from work.
I don’t think that I want to do that.
I talked with another guy…
He doesn’t cut any wood. He has a pellet stove. He burns corn…
???
Let’s see…
I was just going to put carpet in…
then I got the idea for radiant heat (which is now out because carpet acts like a sweater to radiant floor heat)…
which led to wood boilers (which are out because I will be living in the suburbs)…
which led to wood stoves turning me into an indentured servant…
which led to burning corn???
HELP!!!
