[QUOTE="1st Vette, post: 331413, member: 8909"] I would burn regular firewood but it’s a lot of work as you know and to get to the prescribed area to cut it is about 120 k each way although after last summer there will be a heck of a lot available and no doubt closer . If you want to buy it they are charging $450 to $500 a “cord “ , quite often a pickup box full so pallets it is. I have really good access to all I need usually and can fit about 17 or 18 in the back of my truck. Have it down to a science after 25 years. I’ll go through about 250 over the winter so maybe 15 trips hauling them home but they are all in town so no big deal. I found when I did burn cordwood that once you get the stove hot mixing dry with split damp wood will burn pretty well. I hear you about getting too warm, one we go above-20 you have to be careful not to drive yourself out of the house. Nice thing about free heat though is just open a window or door for a bit and cool things down and get fresh air at the same time. I love wood heat. Nothing like it and I would still burn it even if I got free oil . As a bonus it’s also good exercise. [/QUOTE]
