Buying firewood for heating tends to be less cost-effective than installing a heat pump. If you have the land and the means to farm your own wood, do that. Else, use an alternative.

Of course, its not all about finances, but in these times, we should all be doing what we can.

Interesting. Would you say wood heat is more expensive than natural gas or oil heat?

Time is money. Calculate how much time it takes you to manage your wood stores, figure out the cost value, and compare it to gas or oil.

It's going to vary from person to person.

Oil/Gas is a poor choice now though.

The hidden cost of managing a wood stove. I agree it adds up. In general, it's still cheaper than natural gas/oil though it seems.

If you have land, sure, and if you value your time in a low enough amount.
