What's on their minds

Judging by the search strings that have brought people to my site today, some folks are either concerned about this coming winter or looking for a good way to capitalize on it. The common theme is wood stoves.

#1 kind of made me laugh. But maybe I shouldn’t. Considering the enormous jump in wood prices over the last month, I’d like to find some publicly traded firewood. I’d make a killing.

#2. If this New York Times article (Fearing Heat Costs, Many Take Preventive Action) is anything to go by, investing in a good publicly traded wood stove company is a splendid idea! I wonder if there are any.

#3. I haven’t done much of it myself, but wood stove cooking does great things for stews and chili.

#4. I’m extremely happy with my Lopi Endeavor‘s performance.

#5. The nicest kind of heat. But get a pellet stove unless you love hauling armloads of wood around for 5 months out of the year.
