This has the makings of a genuine, bonafide domino-effect fiasco.
With the price of fuel going thru the roof, people have started to resort to stealing. The "new" trend for homes now are wood burning stoves. They will be, if not already, hard to find and priced outrageously to boot. Next will be obtaining the fuel for these home fires, and subsequently, the protection of your wood supply.
I couldn't have imagined even 2 years ago that I would be considering retro-fitting our home for a wood burning stove to save having to burn oil for heat AND hot water.
The phrase "Keep the homefires burning" will have new meaning in the days to come.
