burn about 4.5 cords of wood ($125/cord). House stays TOASTY warm (when my wife has her way HOT, I've been known to open windows to cool it down from her escapades).

Wood is allot more work, obviously, but since my wife is:
1. unable to work.
2. ALWAYS cold.
3. sick.
4. home all day.

If I had to keep the house as warm as she likes/needs it I'd burn through 200-300 gallons a month. No way I could afford that.

if your wife has an iron deficiency...as like 90 % of American woman are anemic ...and when your iron deficient you don't capture oxygen very well when you breath in air so that your oxygen fueled engine (her body) isn't functioning properly.

i don't know if you and your wife both like lobster but when a woman who's iron deficient eats lobster which is rich in iron suddenly their hands are warm when typically they tend to be cold.

so there's some food for thought.
Also you might consider buying one of those oil filled radiators which are electric heaters on wheels and very efficient actually.
I'm planning on buying several more in fact.

At wally world they cost $39.99 i believe, and are well built and definitely not a fire hazard like most electric heaters are with an exposed heating element because its internal and heats the oil sealed inside the radiator. Even if the power goes out they continue to keep providing heat because the oil stays hot for awhile.
