A cord gives you anywhere between 2,500-4,400 lbs > of wood, depending on the species of the wood. Say 1500 kg: that will release about 23 GJ of energy, but even an efficient stove will make only about 5 GJ of that useful, for a net cost of about $20/GJ. IIANM that's still a little cheaper than electricity.

It would be more environmentally friendly if you used plutonium as your heat source to boil water.

James Watt came up with a revolutionary new design, if I recall correctly. |
