20 Forgotten Ways Old Homes Stayed Warm With Almost No Fuel
It takes about twelve hundred thermal units of heat to boil off one pound of water, and the Maine Forest Service puts more than a thousand pounds of water inside a single cord of freshly cut red maple. So the first job a green fire does is not heating your house. It is cooking the water out of its own fuel, and for red maple that is close to half a million thermal units going up the chimney as steam. That is what almost no fuel really means: never wasting the stick in front of you.
