farmer boy said: (quoted from post at 13:02:04 01/11/14) While I see what your saying, it's almost cheaper to heat with natural gas. You can heat a house for $500/year. Wood ain't worth it compared to NG, when you consider the money you have in multiple saws, wood splitter, and time. Then you add in the time spent keeping the fire going, always having to have someone home, the dust from the ashes no matter how careful you are, and bringing bugs to the house if you store the wood near or in the house. It's a bad deal, but dang cheap for those that don't have NG available to them.
There is no way you can possibly heat with NG or anything else as cheap as wood, especially if there isn't a NG line within 20 miles of you! Amortize the cost of my saws and splitter over a 2o-40 year working lifetime, and I have working saws older than that, and the fact I already have the land and other equipment and then compare it to what it costs you per hour to work to pay for the NG. Talk about false economy. I think a lot of people simply hate the labor involved with wood. I can understand that, but please don't try to tell me anything is cheaper than wood for someone who owns land with woods on it. For the taxes I pay, I'm going to get every last penny out of this place!
