But the pollution let loose by either is tiny compared to burning diesel and wood.

It’s less about green, more about enjoying a long life of trouble free breathing.

Though much of the books contents may seem "dated" by todays thinking, their is still a wealth of useful info in it.

I believe you're right; it was a favourite read of mine. Agree entirely on the other point too: what works well never "gets old" except in the minds of the fashion-conscious.

Useless non information in this post.
Dont think anyone's puttin in a half baked barrel in a real boat.
