Wood stove heat is something else - for me, it's not about heating but about the experience. Also... Splitting logs is a very good cardio workout.Idiot question from a suburbia guy: what do people use firewood for? Isn't central heating more cost-effective?

Makes sense wood is cheap if you have woodsI have an outdoor wood boiler. Used to have a load of logs delivered and split them with a gas wood splitter. Now I’m too ole and write checks to a local guy who cuts, splits and delivers. Only time wood saves you money if you have your own wood to cut. Lots of people in WV heat with wood. More and more pellet stoves in use.
