Sufficient Life
I love my wood stove- lots of good heat and entertained by watching fire.
Wood here is really pricey- you would not think so in the middle of the redwoods but a cord of madrone is $350 delivered and fir $250.
I also got three cords of junky wood - whatever deadfalls the county has- from the county sherrif's work alternative program. People convicted of smaller crimes can work off their time on weekends cutting and stacking wood. The senior citizens can pick it up for a low rate based on income. I got mine stored for next year for $80 per cord.
I also have a pellet stove which I use when temps are not too high and when I'm lazy. Since it runs off a thermostat, it's really easy.
But definitely not as nice as the wood stove.
