Dear editor,
Sometimes it takes a power outage to make people aware that you can make a pot of coffee, cook a meal, dry your clothes on a rack and keep the house warm all with wood from your own back yard rather than having to rely on something generated or fracked then transmitted or shipped through a pipeline from hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away!
The responsible use of modern, high-efficiency woodstoves is an invaluable option in emergencies and produce less than a gram and a half of carbon per hour when dry seasoned wood is burned properly.
