We have electric heat but heat our main level with a wood stove in the winter. We have acres of trees so it’s cost effective for us.

I LOVE our wood stove. When our power was out for a week, we all hung out by the stove and used kerosene heaters for the upstairs bedroom. We used alladin lamps for light

We also got a solar powered battery from Jackery, it worked great to keep our phones/iPads charged. It wouldn’t run my milk machine so I had to milk by hand (my goats were not thrilled)

We did run a generator, but only for our freezer and fridge so we didn’t lose all our food.

We have a a Vermont Casting Sequoia wood stove. It heats our basement and upstairs well because we have vents in the floor.

The only negative is the amount of times per day it needs to be filled. Especially overnight.

Sitting next to a wood stove is soooooooo relaxing.
