It's 5:24am here and I'm up. Here's a off-road van just for kicks. Also, I'm burning wood to keep my house warm, which is funny because the house seems warmer, longer, than with the furnace burning propane. Plus we save gas too! Heck ya!

Nice van, is it yours? What's going on? Your van pic and the previous post of the vintage off roader have made me dizzy.

Not my van, but one could wish. I just really like off-road capable vehicles.

Cool, may your dreams come true.
Ps; Kill all the firewood with fire.

Added bonus: chopping wood makes one feel all frontier-sy and stuff :)

Heck yeah. I bought a nice 8 lb maul for that exact reason. And since I'm still rocking my beard, All I need is a flannel shirt.

I wish we had one of those instead of a standard gas fireplace.

I've been up there in the winter. Not to the peak, but hiked Tuckerman's Ravine, with skis. It's pretty awesome.

I've heard that. A buddy wanted to do it but in his physical condition I think they would be calling an ambulance. No need for the medical flight as he'd probably only make it 100 feet up

Ha, like this? The former garage is heated solely by gas log. The rest of the house is by furnace or wood stove. The systems are separate though. So in Essence, we have 3 separate heating sources, :).

Yes! It's so inefficient. It warms our living room with radiant heat, but the other rooms in the house get cold as it pulls a draft for fuel. Anything the furnace puts out is sucked in the fireplace and goes out the flute.
I remember my grandma heating her entire house with a wood burning stove as there was no HVAC.

With the gas log and furnace, the gas log was warmer (by a long shot, on a cement slab!). But since we started using the wood stove, the slab room is so much colder.
The only drawback is getting seasoned wood. The wood I have is what remains of last winter from the previous house. I bought most if my wood, but some of it came with poison oak. It took me a week to figure out why half my body was red and itchy.

Oh wow that's not good. I remember a buddy of mine burning leaves he raked one time and there was some poison oak that was raked up with it. The smoke from the fire caused his whole face to have breakout. His eyes and nose being the worst.

Yeah, for a whole week I thought I was having an allergic reaction to natural peanut butter. Thank goodness the wasn't true. Bullet dodged!
I spent a whole week itching, and had it from my neck to my hips. I was trying to just 'man in up' cuz I thought it was something thst would disappear on it's own. My neighbors found out and told me what is was. I think it took another week to get rid if it.
Of course, I think my wife is immuze, cuz she handled it without breaking out.
Fun fact: poison oak can still be active a year and a half after it was cut from it's roots.
