Staying warm


Brrr. The winds kicked up something awful yesterday evening, and it sounded like the end of the world most of the night.  We woke up to temps in the 40s, and cold fog sitting heavy on the mountains.

After coffee and morning chores, we loaded up Deb's bicycle-powered water pump for delivery.  She seemed pleased with the end result.  We look forward to hearing how it performs.




While at TFL we also got to see Stacy's rocket stove, which is like a mini-gasifier. By using a metal chimney and a small inlet orifice, you can create lots of concentrated heat for cooking, with just a few twigs.  It makes cooking with wood so much more efficient.  To learn more about wood gasification, follow the link to our website.
