25 years ago at my Ogunquit ME DX paradise I heated with wood, but had electric as a backup which was needed only when it was worse than -10 F a few times. I highly recommend wood heat for DX cottages and it is fun to break kindling off trees when it is -25 F and you've been away for a while and unprepared to start a wood stove.

Minor enough, mostly a problem that's noticeable during the day. There are times when cx are worth it when I'll lower the heat slightly and then raise it when I'm taking a break. But the fireplace is a nice option I use at times. RM --- Konnie Rychalsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First winter's light snow at sun-set here in New > England. It's cold.
