The old furnace may be a good thing to have when TSHTF because it is so

Fuels are regional. My part of the world has
more firewood. W. Virginia has more coal. Still,
simple is good.


Think of the old simple cars people are trashing. An EMP will make all
the vehicles with engine control computers, even modern diesels, useless
so the only thing that will run will be things like that old 57 Ford
pickup under all that junk in the barn. Simple is good in some hopeless
situations. ^_^
