Nice woodstove and a real worker stove.

I have land, but no way to get wood. It is less for me to buy cordwood than pay for oil.

I actually buy about 900 gallons of oil to heat our water.

That sounds like a lot of oil for hot water. I pay about $30-40 / month for electric (a bit more in summer with A/C). That electric includes the hot water but also water and pumping sewage up 80 feet of elevation, plus lights. You might want to look into an efficient electric water heater. I have an extra tankless, yours if you want it (I just replaced my tank instead).

Forgot to give my wood price: 135-150 a cord. The better wood, solid oak from big trees, was 135, but I gave him 150.
