Everybody should do this. Not enough wood might be a drawback and not enough water to put out burning hovels could be a problem.
Wood stove fuel pellets do not require wood be cut down to make them. They are made out of sawdust from wood being cut for other purposes, that is what is rather ingenious about it - someone decided istead of having to truck the sawdust away and pay to do it, to turn it into a product that has almost no ash left to deal with, is safe and cheap and would otherwise be wasted.
It also makes excellent pet litter as it gives off no toxic fumes, and is extremely safe for people and animals, and cheap. And it actually combats urine odor.
Another clueless statement from Rightminnow.
My inlaws have heated with wood for years in a very cold upper Midwest state. People are happy to give them storm felled trees — supply has never been a problem. Their boiler sits 50 yeards from the house and the hot water flows underground.
Do you ever get out of your urban apartment???
Why would anybody believe anything you say after this navel informed statement?
