That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

      I unfortunelately don’t have a fireplace in my house. It was removed when the house was renovated in the 80’s

          When I said my house is tiny I truly mean that. I don’t even have space for a medium size house plant let alone a fireplace. The attic was converted into living space and I believe the fireplace used to be where the stairs are now.

          I have a wood burning sauna on a separate building though

            Diesel heater set up properly maybe the way, just not sure how well it would work kept outdoors at those temperatures.

        How about a small propane heater, like a Mr Buddy type unit? Those can be connected to a extension hose and a 20lb propane tank, and are safe to use indoors with adequate ventilation.

        I got one for emergency heat, and it can take 2 of the 1lb propane cylinders directly, or the 20lb tank with a hose. The 20lb tank could provide heat for over 24 hours but IDK how expensive propane is there. It cost me $18 for a 4-pack of the 1lb cylinders, and I think the 20lb ones are about $50 range.

      So you’re BigDickEnergy in a granny cottage, heating the place with your wood to get off grid. Nice!
