    The 12 cord that I burned last winter contained a lot of green wood and a lot of "trash" wood (poplar, box alder, etc.). I don't expect to have to burn that much every year. I cut 10 cord for this winter and it's mostly hardwood that has had almost a year to age/dry. 1/3 of the way into heating...

    Jimbo, The "carbon neutral" comment was in reference to the Al Gore discussion which involves greenhouse gas emissions (mainly CO2) and the whole carbon neutral lifestyle debate (carbon offsets/credits, quotas, etc.). In that case burning wood is considered carbon neutral. I do agree...

    Complicated? Not at all. In fact, I was surprised at how simple of a system it is. The stove heats the water; the circulator pump distributes the hot water to the house; and heat exchangers in the house extract the heat from the water. Installation was a breeze. You'll have more work into...

    alternate heating source

    I'm with Mike123 on this one. I installed an outdoor wood boiler prior to last heating season. The boiler heats the house, garage, and domestic hot water. I used 80 gallons of propane from Oct. 1 through May 1, but my propane is still used for the oven/range and clothes dryer. Without the wood...

    Drawdown seal?

    It is a PVC with a submersible pump. I believe it's 5". I don't have the spec's in front of me, I can post more info on the well later. Any tips for designing the sprinkler system to make due with 10GPM?

    Drawdown seal?

    Any opinions on the use of drawdown seals? I don't know much about them and in my research I'm not find a lot of info. I am looking at putting in irrigation for my lawn, but when the well was drilled last summer the drilling company informed me that the well is probably not adequate for...
