The latest advance in northern New England heating technology seems to be the self-contained outdoor woodburning furnace, that burns nearly anything and keeps the dirt and ash outside. And it's expected to be in the 20s tonight... Public transport in rural Vermont isn't even a possibility. I'm getting almost 30 mpg in a 6-cylinder 5-speed Camry, but you need four wheel drive in the winter, not to mention mud season. My winter car has been an old Tahoe, but $90 for a tank of gas that gets me maybe 400 miles isn't going to work next winter. cheers from Vermont. Richard >Aha ... that explains things. A good cast-iron wood-burning stove from >Vermont should help in keeping the chill off.
