It's official, warmest winter on record here. Dec., Jan., Feb. Couldn't have come at a better time with the cost of coal, gas and electric being what it was. Electric and gas prices dropping. Coal should follow. Woo Hoo!

I started pulling my domestic hot water from my stoker just to keep it running. Anything over 55 and the fire wants to die due to no draft. Making domestic hot water will keep it humming.
