<div>In that it's below zero F at noon now, I was thinking that during 60 yrs. of heating only with wood, no one has ever asked what I have for backup It they had asked, I could've said that I have an endless supply of WOOD, but that wouldn't have made me
much warmer in a power outage than most. I've had wood furnaces of varying degrees of efficiency, One outdoor wood boiler 125' from the house, another OWB naked within a 40X60' bldging,with tubing for hot water, poured into the floor, all dependent on electricity.
Now, using only 3 wood stoves, we are finally electricity free--heat wise. In our lofty position of collecting university food waste for hog food, (a huge social leap from when I hauled all of Winona's 27K sewage to this farm) we have 32 ga. Rubbermaid barrels
to pressure wash, which is done using a top loaded Sedore wood stove, with 2 water loops, which through thermo syphon, heats a used, elevated 80 ga. Marathon water heater. When the power goes out, we just hook up the hot water to a diesel powered pressure
washer----gotta keep those hogs happy. I realize heat is of little concern to most, compared with the heating and cooking problems in 3rd world countries, but our social networks are becoming shakier, including heat and power..
