    There must still be a lot of wood stoves in New Zealand.

    37% heat with wood in '05. (Just some numbers i saw with a quick google.)
    They had a total ban on fireplaces and non "epa" stoves. Very strict regulations on Woodstoves/pollution.

    That's almost 38 cord per day. That's over 3 cord per hour per 12 hour day...every day for 365 days....

    That's a lot o' wood and a lot of debris too. I like how a lot of these larger processors use the waste to heat their kilns. Very smart.

    I think I could handle working in an operation like that. I’ve been running and repairing equipment for 30 years now.
    No offense, but I would not go to Colorado though. Get something set up In Wyoming or Montana and give me a call, ….. Alaska would work too!

    100% Montana, Colorado’s getting too crowded and expensive! We actually just got back from a month long trip to Alaska, man what a place. Now I know what they mean about the bald Eagle being the seagull of Alaska, there everywhere!
