Wood Burning Heating System...

The village of Kolentsi where the camp in being constructed is a small community of 420 people. Once the Kelly's move there it will be 423 people. Because of its relatively small size as compared to other towns and cities nearby, Kolentsi still does not have gas.

Therefore, heating in winter is a little tricky. Villagers use old pot belly stoves or fireplaces to heat their small homes. For the safety of our camp, Jeremiah's Hope has purchased a wood burning closed water loop radiator heating system. Basically, we have a huge heating unit (a modern day pot belly stove) that can heat the entire Directors Cottage with only two armloads of wood each day. The heating system heats water which runs through a closed system of radiators and loops through the entire house.
