We have 2 woodstoves. We usually only use 1 except on very cold and windy days. We’re fortunate enough to have a good supply, I can cut dead or fallen trees right across the street on about 40 acres of woods, a friend of mine owns the property. We save thousands of dollars in heating from October through March and early April, 6 - 7 months. Nothing like coming in from the cold and warming your bones by the stove, I put my boots and gloves near it before going outside. 3 kettles of water provide humidification. Ceiling fans move the heat so the whole house gets heated. Been heating with wood for 42 years.

One negative I might add. It’s a lot of work to heat with wood, cutting, splitting, stacking and replenishing the hoops on the porch about once a week. Good exercise though.

Plus, in an extended winter power outage, you have a source of heat, and can use it for cooking (at least ours can, it has a flat top) and heating water.
