[TheForge] Burning Clean

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Oh, there are emmissions...they are just at the other end of the 
wire.
Garrick: Go for a gasser of the most efficient  design and add a 
lot of insulation to it... a forge for each sized work is 
good...And plant plenty of fast growing native trees when you are 
not hammering...Oh yeah, and don't phart much.   Pete F
