When I purchased my home in central NH back in 85 I had vintage 1930's cooking stove attached to the chimney in the kitchen. So I did some research and started
buying coal. After a couple of years my wife got sick of the ugly stove in the kitchen (and the stink of the coal) so I bought a Consolidated Duthwest wood stove. I can
still remember picking it up in Plymouth Ma with my father. In the mid 90's we were doing some remodeling so I sold the wood stove and bought a propane stove.
The cost of propane at the time was about .90 a gallon. It was time to replace that propane stove this year so I replaced it with a Jotul Rangeley. I went back to
wood for 2 reasons, I missed burning wood and the price of propane which is about 3.50 a gallon. My question is why in New England is propane 3.50 a gallon when in Iowa
it's $1.75. It can't be all transportation cost ?
