When we sell our house in Asheville, and move back home I plan on burinin a lot of firewood. Gonna have an outdoor wood furnace. Wood is no problem at all where we are orginally from. The county we live in has the highest county seat east of the Mississippi. (Newland, Avery County NC) in other words it's really in the boondocks. Gonna plan on backin that up with a heat pump. Theres no real need for AC up there, but once you lived with it ( I was mid to late 30's when I first got air conditioning) ya dont wanna live without it. So Ill have AC as well. Oh well, thats my firewood plan. I guess I like that locust about the best.
