TM -

Like your opinion on wood vs. oil.

In your opinion - which source has greater environmental impact - cradle to grave? I have heard conflicting opinions. My brother in Utah (at the base of Little Cottonwood) won't burn wood because of Salt Lake's smog problem (being a basin city - like Mexico City), but my bro-in-law in Wilson, WY swears by it. Less transportation impact, cuts his own, only uses fallen timber.

We just bought a house with a sweet wood burning stove - previous owners said it heats the whole place. It is on the coast in Maine where they heat a lot with wood (not something we did a lot of in Fairfield county). Very breezy - no smog issues. We also have oil heat for hot water and heat. Which is the lesser evil?

Edit - the San Juans? That has got to be incredible, living there. My wife and I love that range.
