Since you have a chimney (burning fireplace) - a good second hand wood stove would pay for itself in one season.

Plus, you can slow cook stews and soups, heat water for hand/face/dish washing/coffee, etc - without using electric. You can also set a drying rack by it and dry clothes.

And wood heat is so friendly and constant.

I’d love to, and I know all the advantages, but I don’t have any money at all, even for a second-hand stove. And in my with my house, I’d have to do some serious carpentry to accommodate a stove and its flu and comply with local code. Trust me when I tell you I’ve agonized over ways to do this for YEARS.
