First electric bill since the wood stove

03:29, Wednesday, February 6, 2008 .. Posted in Home .. 2 comments .. Link

For the month of December our electric bill was 170 dollars. During the last week we installed the wood cook stove so I am sure the electric bill would have been even higher. Well, we now have the electric bill for January. Any guesses? Well it was only 70 dollars. I am sure I can lower this even more when spring comes when I can use my wringer washer. I am hoping that my Hubby can cut my bread pans apart so that they fit in my wood stove better. While the cook stove has more oven space it is more narrow than my electric stove. I still run my electric stove about every other day to bake bread. I wonder how much lower we can get it to go?

Wow! That is amazing that you have lowered you electic bill that much! I think it would be soooooo neat to have a wood stove to cook in!
I am thinking about buying a table top washer from Lehman's. They are small and it would be neat for me to do my small loads in.
