Thanks guys, yes oil furnaces are all over here in the U.S. BUT Natural gas is more common in urban areas. 99% of kids ( to me a kid is anything under 20) have never heard of a Wood heater or a oil furnace, but Wood heat here is rare at best mainly because people in the U.S. now days are too lazy to go out fell a tree cut it up and haul it home, good thing for me, cause granted this year I have to hunt for seasoned wood, but I already have NEXT years wood stacked seasoning and almost ready to be split:)
Oh thanks Death fun, it IS a bad ass heater, with two 1/4 and some kindling, I can make it 120F in here real fast.
Oh one more thing for those of you who have never heard of oil heat before, don't worry, I'm right there with ya, from the time i was born until I moved into THIS particular house I had never heard of anything besides wood heat. so using a ax is no biggie to me, my grandfather split his own wood until he was 95 years 6 months and 3 days (thats the day he died) And I have spent only the last 18 years NOT spiting wood, instead I have been dealing with bad leaking heat exchangers, rusted out roof jacks, electronics thermostats that don't work at all or right when they do, and that crude oil smell, thats the advantages of oil heat. The " experts " say a oil furnace will last 20 years, I've had three heat exchangers in the one in the house now i the past 5 years, so to me "downgrading to wood heat" is a MAJOR upgrade.
And just to let yall kow how strong my 180 lbs is, I can split a 3foot dia 16" long green log into halves with two swings.
