Same here, Bluey! I can't even imagine paying a gas bill again! Average cost of good, used wood stove in these parts: $300 regular stove, $1200 for wood furnace.
Since I don't have my own place for getting wood, I was able to buy "seconds" lumber bundles for $20 a piece. Four bundles took us through the winter and, since I already owned the stove, I heated the house for $80 and the gas to pick up the wood.
That is why I love my wood heat!
That's still a very sweet deal! Our property is adjacent to my father-in-law's 120 acres. We only cut up what is dead or laying on the ground. The only cost is our toil and sweat. Child labor helps alot as well (in carrying and stacking wood)...
