[Greenbuilding] between a rock and a shoulder season

[Reuben Deumling]

Lowtech  magazine just published a piece on a related issue: efficiency of
cooking with different fuels:
http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2014/06/thermal-efficiency-cooking-stoves.html

"Converting heat into electricity which is then converted back into heat,
at 20-40% efficiency, is similar to building a Rube Goldberg machine; it's
a needlessly complex operation compared to simply converting the primary
fuel into heat to boil water. Essentially, any electric cooking device is
an insult to the science of thermodynamics."
