We lived in Fern Forest years ago, and can assure you need heat, we used kerosene mostly. Today either gas or electric cost is outrageous without heat, including kerosene which smells!

Too much cloud
cover to rely on solar(mabe hotwater), or wind for wind power. However wood is everywhere. The pellets were tried, but moisture was a problem. And the old fireplaces were very inneficient and ate too much wood.

The controlled vent would be good, especially if it could last all night. Plus water could always be on the stove. There is an internal water jacket which can be mounted in the stove for a remote hot water tank.

Now we have to consult with th EPA as to whether we'd be polluting the pristine Puna atmosphere with our burning!

okay. so now i'm really confused. you're talking about a wood-burning stove? forgive my ignorance i know some of you are bagging your heads, but isn't that different than a fireplace? and, are you saying that you can have a stove with a direct vent or a natural vent?
