He's Hot On Wood Heating By KATHLEEN O'CONNELL Staff Writer
Firewood costs are lower but safety and efficiency matter. William Crowley, a part time firewood seller from Old Orchard Beach, says oil heating dropped from 500 to 350 in three years after switching to wood and oil. He argues wood is healthier and notes birch burns fast while oak and maple deliver best heat. He warns dry wood prevents creosote buildup and chimney fires. Crowley keeps wood at 60 dollars per cord for four foot bolts, with stoves prices halved since energy scare. He plans for next season, storing wood in summer and selling after snow.
