[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 163246, member: 53"] We live in Amish country and I have seen the new stoves they have, actually I believe they call them furnaces. The idea is that the furnace is outside and heats hot water that is distributed in pipes through out the house. Now I guess this means a retro fit is not easily installed, but the furnace burns wood, or pellets, or even manure (which they would have plenty of with their horses). If you lived near a woods it would be great since firewood isn't cheap either. They have made great strides in heating stoves, so wouldn't necessarily think they are dangerous, but you still need fuel of some sort which may not help you cut your costs.....wish there was an obvious answer. Can only think to buy your fuel NOW before the cost rises even higher........ Check out solar? [/QUOTE]
