Black bean burgers, anyone? No THANKS.

Take away our beef and force us to replace it with faux meat made of soy (like Worthington Salisbury Stakes)...or worse...BEANS. If the ozone can't hold up under a load of cow farts, how will it handle millions more vegetarians on a daily diet of beans? I've been around enough vegetarians (my in-laws are all Seventh Day Adventist, remember?) to know how flatulent vegetarians are.

Lol....


I've actually had black bean burgers that weren't too bad.
Probably full of other stuff that's not good for you to make them taste better I'm sure.

Wouldn't want to replace a decent burger with the stuff though.

Most people buy a coal stove with the intention of supplementing but find it's taking most of the heat load. There is plenty of options for tying into existing duct work, depends on the model but many have an outlet for the duct and their own heat distribution motor.



The coal is likely less costly than the propane, if you find some local prices for the different fuels you can plug them in here to compare.

Moisture could be an issue I'd have to address though.

Pellets are bagged so generally not problem, my point is it's no concern at all with the coal especially for loose bulk purchases which can be cheaper than bagged coal.

Yup, and every Republican back then said, “ I’ve heated my house with buffalo chips since I was a little sprout.” “Ain’t no New Deal Democrat gonna change my mind now!”

If the green deal is ever implemented you just might have to heat your home with buffalo chips to keep warm.

Carbon neutral source? So the smoke coming out of the chimney has no carbon?

Trees absorb carbon as they grow, new trees that replace what you burn do the same...It is part of the natural carbon cycle.
