RE: Pennsif's Progress #604 - Get out of oil, dad
Definitely move away from oil asap. There are numerous clever ways to heat houses now that would fit in with your ideology. Typically, some combination of enhanced insulation and a heating system that is sustainable can achieved even in order houses I think.
I guess it depends partially on what you have available in terms of space and natural resources - but since you have a lot of wood, maybe rocket heaters are worth looking at?
Yes I have been looking at rocket mass heaters.
I had a chap (@em3) on The Alternative Lifestyle Show a couple of weeks back who is working at Wheaton Labs. That prompted me to check them out again but I don't think we would have the physical space in the main house as the rooms are small.

If you want to get really creative you can make a sofa out of the rocket heater :)
That could be a comfortable option.
