Good reading, thanks! The only thing I get hung up on is why don't these people use a spellchecker or have someone proof stuff before they publish? I get nervous when "experts" misspell words like "radiant". Imprecise language is the first sign of mental illness! ;)
 
The last page is pretty good...the one outlining the costs..when did a trip to the Doctor last cost $50
 
Full cost for a clinic office visit in our tiny hospital is $35. Our pediatrician charges $70. Our co-pay is only $15 for either. An ER visit will set us back 200, though.
 
In all seriousness this should be stickied with something in the title about being new to woodstoves.

Very informative and would help any newcomers prior to their eventual questions.

Since I am a University of Texas grad I attribute the spelling errors to it being an Okie from Oklahoma State that published it. They can't help it.

As to imprecise language, being a Texan I am used to speaking a different language. We're fixin to start talkin like the rest of y'all right soon.
 
9k for a 15 acre woodlot. Wish land were that cheap around here.

Yeah. That old list has been around since early Mother Earth News days.
 
I'll say - I wish I could find a $150 splitter.

Ya can in Oklahoma. Of course is has an old West Bend 2 stroke engine and the beam looks curiously like it used to have cross-ties under it.
