Landowners begin to see dollar signs instead of trees on their back wood lots as fall sends temperatures dropping and utility bills soaring.
With the Iranians and the Iraqis threatening to light a blaze under the Middle East's oil barrels, firewood offers a welcome alternative to ever increasing costs of home heating, particularly if families cut their own. But no one wants to see half that precious heat escaping up the fire place chimney while they sit nursing their aching muscles from horus of sawing, splitting and stacking.
Hence the recent surge of interest in wood stoves.
