We are all electric. We are to far out for Nat gas, arghh. I was reluctant to put in a wood stove, but I am sure rethinking my position. I can likely build a wood stove in a couple three weeks or so. But the honking pipe is super expensive. Cost me almost 900 dollars in pipe. I can buy the steel and build the stove for half that. I am guessing the pipe is so pricey due to insurance and liability? I have a virtually unlimited supply of fuel on our back sixty acres. I have been cutting in a road at roughly ten ft a session. It is gnarly.
