lolz, really?

"One pound (0.45 kilogram) of oven-dried hardwood has an available heat value of about 8,600 BTU, while wood pellets are next at about 7,750 BTU, followed by air-dried hardwood."

Which pellets are those? NEWPs? Some dubious fact checking there, I'd say...

Last time this quiz showed up I got 10/12. This time I got them all. Burning wood all winter does make you smarter. I knew it

7/12.
How did I not know NE had the most wood burners? Guess I watch too many Alaska shows.
Hey, does that mean New England is more primative than Alaska?
Well, we do have mountain lions again.

I stopped taking the test after getting that one "wrong" when I saw their incorrect data.

well, this quiz was likely put together by some journalist who had some extra time, googling away on the internet-thing. From Florida. With electric heat.

I'm selling a cheat sheet with the right answers. So PM me if you want to buy one. I will take bags of pellets in trade. Sets and Okies only.
