Also we had a new woodstove installed today, as we want to go green ( ;-) ) and it is easier on the wallet. We have so much firewood standing on our property, it would be stupid not to use that for almost free heat. Another reason for this stove is the fact power outages often occur in rural Rollyview. It is almost a necessity to be independent; you do not want to be out of power at minus 40, right. Secondly the gas bill will drop significantly, so much the stove will pay for itself in about two years. The last couple of weeks we have downed 4 large pine/fir trees and numerous (30-40) poplar trees, providing a nice stack of firewood. Estimated we now have 3 cord (1 cord=4'x4'x8'=3.62 m3) in stock; enough for 2 winters (?). We'll find out.
Unfortunately we could not use our Rais Fokus stove; it is not CSA approved, so getting the building permit (yes you need one for a stove) and the insurance would be a problem.
At first we had set our eyes on a HearthStone stove, model Heritage, beautiful but quite expensive. The one we bought, Drolet Adirondack, at the Co-op Leduc is kind of temporary. Maybe until ATNP.PK soares.
