Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Wood stoves?

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

Here at Heartwood Cohousing, we do allow wood stoves. About half of our 24 
homes have one. We have 361 acres so we have plenty of firewood and harvesting 
it helps with forest health and fire mitigation.

I forget the exact standards, but all wood stoves must be clean burning 
(minimal emissions). 

Our primary heat sources are passive solar design and natural gas hydronic 
heat. A wood stove provides nice back up heat on those rare cloudy days, not to 
mention the lovely aesthetic of a fire on a snowy day.

"Routine is death. There's ways to get rid of that, and that's just take colder 
showers or sleep on the floor--just change routine! Go a different way home. 
And all the people who I grew up with, you know, Bill Graham, Miles Davis, and 
John Lee Hooker, I have never seen these people be bored or predictable or 
yawning. They are always either very passionate or very horny or very holy or 
all of them at the same time."
