Been heating with wood for 50 years - live in hardwood forest, log home I built with my own hands that has a fireplace furnace. Have all the wood I need just from trees that die around me. I don’t cut live standing hardwood.

Most Euro homes not 50 or more years old have no way to heat with wood. Not only is a wood burning stove (or equal) needed, so is the chimney to take gases out. This requires a roof or wall penetration.

Yes, I suspect the wood stove market will explode along with installation services. And demand will far exceed supply.

Then where does the dried, seasoned hardwood come from? You cannot use conifers for firewood in stoves - burns too hot too fast.

Will be interesting.

That cedar is great for getting some oak going in a hurry though.
