- hermitdev 7y agoI grew up in rural Montana. We had electric base boards, but it was far more economical to utilize the 2 wood stoves. We typically had 8 cords of wood on hand for the winter. We were far outside of anywhere NG lines were run, and while some of our newer neighbors had Propane tanks, we didnt have any sort of central air, so propane wasnt really any option without a very expensive remodel. House burned a few years ago in a wildfire, so kind of a moot point now.
