This winter has been very long and brutally cold.  Just a week after getting near 60(F), we’ll be getting 6 inches of snow or so and the temps are back near 0(F) at night.  I have burnt through two massive truckloads of wood, and I have been cutting down trees left and right.  Sure, heating my house, garage, and water with wood is far cheaper than propane, but it is a lot of hard work.  To help stave off some wood consumption, I had 2 tons of coal brought in.  It stinks, but it will last a month and help with the wood.
