No fuel like wood
Increasing • energy
costs have sparked
renewed interest in the
world's oldest fuel - wood.
Using wood for sup-
plemental heat, and
lowering the thermostat,
can reduce home heating
costs if you have a
woodlot or free access to
wood, according to
Helm•us Spieser, energy
management specialist
for the .Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food.
However, people who
have to pay the going
rates for cut wood may
find that burning wood is
more of a luxury than a
cost-saving alternative
fuel.
Wood is now being sold
commercially by the
'face'-• cord . or `fireplace'
cord. Although this is not
an official measure, it
commonly refers to a pile
of .12- to 1.6 -inch logs eight
feet 'long and four -.feet
high, or about one-
quarter of a full cord. A
full cord' measures four
feet by four feet by eight
feet.
The price of a face cord
depends. on the type of '
wood and the location. An
average price is about
$35.'
"When looking for the
most economical buy,
consider the type of wood
and its ability to produce
heat as• well as • the
distance you must
transport it," says Mr.
Spieser.
The ability to produce
heat is measured by
British thermal units
(Btu's). For example, a
%full cord of sugar..maple
produces 29 million Btu's,
compared to a full cord of
white spruce that yields
only 16.2 million Btu's.
Btu's values ,for other
types of Ontario woods
are: rock elm, 32 million;
shagbark hickory, 30.6
• million; white oak, 30.6'
million; beech, 27.8
million; red oak, 27.3
million; white elm, 24.5
million; red maple, ° 24
• million; silver ' maple,
21.7 million; Manitoba
maple, 19.3 million;
trembling aspen, 17.7
million; and basswood, 17
million.
"Hardwoods provide
.more heat than softwoods
because the.grain of -::,the
wood is tighter," says
Mr. Spieser.
To compare the cost of
wood with conventional
fuels, use equivalent Btu
values. For example, a
cord' of red maple, at
about $130: yields the
same number of Btu's as
184 gallons of fuel Oil at
$112. or 21°,500 cubic feet
of natural gas at $64.50.
In southern Ontario, a
farmhouse that uses 1200
to 1600 gallons of fuel oil
during the winter would
require eight to 12 full
cords of wood to provide
the same amount of heat..
Consumers must also
rerriember that to use
wood effectively a slow -
burning wood stove is
required. Pricesstart at
about $200. Although two -
door wood stoves are
becoming very popular,
Mr. Spieser says that
they are inefficient heat-
producting stoves when'
operated with the doors
open.
If you have considered
the cost, and decided to
To furnaces
use wood, be sure to store
it properly.
Mr. Spieser suggests
leaving the wood for a
day before splitting. Once
the sap is frozen, the job
is easier. Stack the wood
after it is split to allow it
to dry out.. Cover the
stack to protect the wood
from moisture.

Council had the lot

snags ' with a near -by

wouldn't give up several
feet of land to complete

"I'm also upset about
the vandalism in town

done to eliminate that,"
he went on. •

Wood units can be bad
Don't add wood -
burning,. units to your
furnace, warns the
director of the energy
safety branch of the
ministry of consumer and
commercial relations.
Herb Jones says these
add-ons can be dangerous
because furnaces aren't
built or installed to
handle the _ high tem-
peratures generated by
wood. "Already this year,
,the units have been
associated with a number
of deaths, according to
the fire marshal's of-
fice."
Wood -burning units
require larger clearances
from combustibles •than
gas, oil or electrical
furnaces, he said. "Some
consumers have
neglected this and as a
result walls, joists and
other combustible
materials near the fur-
nace and flue have
caught fire."
The add-ons are also
not • equipped with
,automatic shut-off
controls which stop the
injection of fuel once the
maximum ,safe tem-
perature • has been
reached. "The heat in
wood -burning units can
be reduced only by
closing the draft. This is
less _effective than the
automatic control. And
the consumer is required
to keep a close watch
over temperature levels,
which is normally not
possible."
Power failures pose an
additional hazard. "The
furnace blower won't
operate during a power
'failure. But the wood will
keep burning without the
blower spreading the
heat. So unsafe heat
levels may build up."

Mr. Jones says con-
sumers have been
hooking up a wide variety
of wood -burning devices
to4beir furnaces and the
connecting ductwork..
"Some people have been
attaching their Franklin
wood stoves.
Although they're great
for saving energy if
properly installed they're
dangerous when used in
this manner."
"'The heat from the add -
ori .. may .,also . damage.
mechanical or electrical
parts .in your furnaces In
addition, the safety
certification required for
all furnaces becomes
void if an add-on is. in-
' stalled. "And it's unlikely
that an insurance policy
would covdr''-.....any
damages resulting from
the use of add-ons," said.
Mr. Jones.
However, add-ons
aren't the only hazards.
"Individual wood, -
burning units and cer-
tified combination wood -
oil units regikire careful
installation and main-
tenance."
Fires can be caused by
a build-up of creosote, a
tar -like deposit from
condensed wood gases.
"Avoid using green wood•
or allowing any other
materials to burn slowly
to minimize the build-up.
When your individual or
combination unit is first
installed, check daily, for
creosote until you, have
determined how
frequently it will have to
be cleaned out," Mr.
Jones advises.
.-Chimneys designed for
oil-,. or gas may not be
suitable for wood.
Masonry chimneys
should be carefully in-
spected inside and out to
make sure they are in
good shape and sized
properly. Although
factory -built • chimneys
which have been certified
by the Underwriters'
Laboratory .of Canada
may be adequate, Type B
chimneys, generally used
with gas furnaces, should
not be used.
Safe clearances for
wood -burning units are
listed in the Ontario
Building Code, available,
from your local library.
To make sure your unit
has,been safely installed,
contact your local fire
department. A. free
booklet, Heating with
Wodd Safely, is available

The Co-op, which
operates out of Bruce and
Grey Counties, needed to
come up with $2,500 by
January 1 to complete the
purchase of a special. van.
The van would aid the
co-op in its services to
physically . handicapped
people who have
problems getting around.
The van is specially
equipped ' to allow
wheelchair patients and
other handicapped people
more mobility.
Although government
funding ran out in
November, the locally
owned and operated
group have approached
service clubs, municipal
councils, the provincial
government and in-
drvidualwff r•donations to
t back
help keep the co-op in
operation.
The group is trying to
provide an eight month
provincial government
pilot project in Grey and
Bruce arid is purchasing
the hydraulic wheelchair
lift van the government
hadleased.
The cooperative
members pay $100 or $200
for the use of the van's
service for a year and the
county councils were
asked to match the
amount, but as . of
December 28 no money
had been given by them.
The Owen Sound

needed to buy the van and
as otthe end of December
about' $2;000 had been
raised.
