Thank you for another fantastic article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.

[...] A wood cookstove is on my list of wants. Someday, maybe, I’ll have one, for now I’ll read about how others use wood cookstoves in their daily lives. [...]

And, here I am, thinking of the Waterford-Stanley we have no room for! I just looked at the price of them, and I was amazed! Maybe I can call the chimney guy and hook it up in the basement to my fireplace? I think I’ll check on that, as he did a good job relining the chimney to the upstairs fireplace and installing a woodburing insert. It would be wonderful to have a really good place to cook…of course, I’ll have to get three men and a horse or something to get the Waterford Stanley OUT of the old house, first! THEN, I will have to convince hubby that it will be good to have a “new” focal point down in the basement…

sharon, have been reading your website at my daughter’s suggestion…
while i do agree we need to begin to adapt our greedy, selfish, high-consuming, world-ignoring lifestyles, i must tell you honestly, been there, done that and FUN? not so much. grew up with the kitchen pump, the wood cookstove, the wood heaters, the chamber pots, the broom, the milk cow, the garden, the canning…while these things have their moments of charm and satisfaction, and no doubt high moral value, I still remember the
simple joy of a hot bath in a “real” tub, for the first time, and the summer I didn’t have to can 900 jars of produce in 90something heat, standing over a redhot stove, in an unair-conditioned kitchen…
living off the grid is very hard work. my mama had health problems and died young. years of carrying water up a flight of stairs to do laundry in a wringer washer was one reason. also, what about the milions who have neither the health, strength, land, learning, or opportunity to “return to the land?” I think you over-romantize the whole thing.
It may be coming, but at 61, I don’t anticipate the drudgery with delight.The Good Book says, “moderation in all things” and, for me, that includes being green.

I’ve just stumbled across your website.
We have just installed a warmsler wood burning range after years of dithering. This German munufactured cooker runs on wood from our farm, we recon it will save us about 2000 litres of oil each year. It seems to give a better quality of warmth and our bread tastes better than ever. we have enough hot water to satisfy even our three teenage children.
The only problem is that at a rough estimate we will need to devote three of our ten acres of land to growing wood for fuel. Here in the UK we have only half an acre of land per head of population!
