    How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

    Hey, thanks! I could easily power that with the planned system as long as it wouldn't run for 8 hours a day. The cooling is better than most window units!

    Waay back in the day before baggies, Saran wrap and zip loc thingys our lunches were always packed with wax paper. That was the only stuff in the cupboard. So on our hunting, fishing or camping trips the wax paper from one or two sandwiches was more than enough to start a fire. My older brother taught me how to start a fire in the worst of weather using dried twigs off pine and spruce but wax paper was always the main ingredient.

    Yep remember that wrap well. Cheese sandwiches in wax paper is what my mom sent me to school with every day. I always carry a 1 lb bottle of MAPPs gas with a self igniting turbo torch in my kit. That sucker will start a fire in torrential down pour with hurricane winds.

    My friend put in an outdoor wood boiler and in floor heating. Turned out to be a lot of work, burned ton's of wood that still had to be cut from the tandem loads , he could not be away for day's on end. The heat exchangers on these thing's seem to rust out after six or seven years of use. The other problem was heat control where the heat from the floor can become oppressive and hard to adjust fast. With sporadic power outages for the pump he scraped the whole system after the exchangers rusted out.
