The Fireplace! I think that is a great idea for many people. Exhaust is there in summer. If you need to keep from sending your AC up the chimney you may take advantage of a window or such reasonably close to use. Then flip it around in the winter to heat the home. If you have a blower system or even better a whole home distribution setup as many people do for their fireplace you could get quite a few TH in there.

I hadn't considered the fireplace but as I hope to continue mining through another winter starting in a few months I will certainly consider the fireplace. Thanks for sharing.

Please elaborate more regarding your current setup and battery usage.
I wonder what the restrictions are for a windmill in my area... It would be great fun regardless of the mining aspect and someone posted an article link mentioning the newer windmill technology without blades.
