That’s true, no matter what you get, you have to have the fuel for it. The only reason I lean towards a wood stove is that we have a few acres of wooded property. And don’t call me crazy, but I really love splitting and stacking wood. I treat it like a puzzle, my wood piles will last for years and years, even in the Sierras where they got five feet of snow pack on them.
So you ended up west of Nashville?

Heats two rooms for a week on a 20 pound tank.
Made for indoor but can also be used outdoors for camping or other reasons.
For under $200, for the hose, a tank and a CO detector, you’re set.
Have had mine for 12 years now and still works like new.
Was it President Reagan who enjoyed chopping wood for exercise?
