You know, while it may be true that Californians have practiced and
studied some good conservation principles, I also think David has a
point. Back when I was taking some hard look at America's overall
energy usage, home heating oil is a very significant part of that
usage. Sometimes the

Mark,
When you raised the bubble-dry issue a few weeks back, I wasn't convinced
that the main action was necessarily water evaporation. I tend to store
samples of biodiesel in capped 2 litre Dr. Pepper style plastic bottles, and
had noticed that if an air space is left above the liquid, it

For comparison, my glyc. burner is a converted natural gas water heater from

That's great, you are really progressing here. I've done some fuel
combination work, but I've got a lot more to do this spring. The two

to me. I have one waste oil based flame onto a sloping heavy metal drip

I think this is underrating Permaculture a bit. It IS a system, that can be
