I use blackjack oak (plenty of it in these parts) for smoking with the grill and I remove the bark to burn it in my fire place.

Today temperatures are over 90*! Here I am, working firewood!
Truthfully, it’s the heat that brings to cold winter to mind! |

I used to heat my house in Upstate NY with wood. Had a beautiful Vermont Castings stove in the living room and a little Jotul in the basement.
Moved to NC and got a nice VC insert for the fireplace. Then we found out our daughter has some kind of tree allergy- had to toss out a fresh Christmas tree and put up a fake one. That was the end of burning wood. When I built my cabin I went with a propane stove, again Vermont Castings. Turn a dial and it's lit. Probably saves me a bunch of money as well. |

I burn wood going into winter, switch to coal from around Thanksgiving til March sometime, then finish the rest with wood. Using wood all winter would be a gigantic PITA, not to mention it would take a mountain of wood.
I have a Hitzer coal stove. Coal fire, then wood, then coal bin: . |

We’re usually doin this…
…8-10 days a month, September thru April. We’ll have a fire most nights. If we’re not away, we’ll have a fire in the fireplace most nights starting in October. We burn about 3/4 cord every year. |

Got an old Fisher double-door wood burning stove in the basement. Really heats about half the house when you get it going. Plus, fireplaces in the living room, master bedroom, and my office, but they're more for show than actual heat.

Not wood per-say we have a pellet stove in the great room. On the real cool times(-20F or so) it does a decent job of keeping the house sweater warm. Use it there and the hot air furnace goes on light duty.
If we leave it running steady it will keep the whole house warm, but not much heat makes it down stairs to the basement. Piping and well controls are there! Still better than nothing if the furnace dies. We have a Propane whole house Generator so we have electricity to run things. |

If you get it free, go for it. Gas is cheaper than to buy the damn thing.

We don't burn a lot of wood, but we do have a fireplace. It originally had a coal burning insert, but that was long gone when we bought the place. The chimney had to be rehabbed with a thermocrete sprayed in place liner added.
It throws an impressive amount of heat with the addition of a vertical wood grate and a heat reflective fireback from Grate Wall of Fire |

Almost I use a pellet stove. A 50lb bag of pellets lasts 12-14 hours. Cost to heat the house with this is half the price of natural gas and it does a better job. Need 5 tons to get through a Michigan Winter.

We typically have too many days when we can't burn open flame, so the only wood I burn is pellets in a grill.
