I hear ya Jackyl, I have a fifteen year old that likes to walk around in shorts in December when it is 77 in the house, but God forbid they get out there and help get the wood ready to get to the 77. Wood, the most efficient heat source out there. Free (to us), heats you when you cut it, split it, load it, unload it, stack it, and burn it. Dang kid should never even have a chill.
