I use 110 heaters because that is all I have right now.  I would rather use wood since we have 34achers of land and we can get the wood free but we live in a small on bedroom trialor and we can't because of insurence.  When I lived in my two story house we used wood and had electric heaters and we used propane.  When propane went up we took it out the wood stove doesn't help with my breathing and the heat pump was to exspensive so we just used little heaters where ever there was water and put on lots of cloths.

I have an outdoor wood heater that blow the heat across a rader with forced air to heat my 100 year old house.  It works great and all the smole is outside.

      Close all doors and windows at sunset and turn on your heater. Turn off your heater at sunrise.

Cook inside in the winter time and use wood/store bought wax logs when it gets cold.  I have about 2 1/2 foot of insulation blown in the attic, so in the winter it doesn't take much to warm up the home.  A  cheap walmart throw blanket over us watching tv and some hot tea sets the mood.  Doggies curling up inside our covers keeping us warm.

We just moved into a different house, and it has cadet heat, which we have used already.

We also have these radiator shaped heaters that contain oil which is plugged in and the oil inside heats up.  There's a name for those, but I don't remember what they're called.

But they look like this...

I don't need to.
I live in phoenix.
What youre asking is like asking "what do you use to kill yourself"
Well, or at least along those same lines.
You just don't because its foolish.
