What's your weather like?

I only need the heating for an hour after getting up from sleep. It's always around 22°C in winter because the central heating is exactly below my rooms and I get a warm floor.

My floors are always warm. And my windows cracked, even in -35.

Wood heat rules....looks cool too lol

Yep, fire is the best when there's a real winter. Our family's old house has a nice fire/heating system too, three open fireplaces in three rooms (all in one chimney) and the kitchen have the maintenance openings when you want to heat with coal. As a boy I had to run in the basement to carry briquettes and wood above for our granny, Later a modern gas heating got added.
 
Totally.

Like I said....-35 and windows open lol
Same, you really can't beat a log burner, so good the one fire blasts enough heat out for a whole house. Heres mine. On already because despite it being beautiful and sunny here in Wales it is cold enough to freeze your tits off. I can cook on the top too, lid lifts up and has a soap stone top. use it quite a bit for slow cooking.

Honestly no idea, bloke who sells it to me, 80 quid for a massive trailer full.. kiln dries it and its either hard wood or soft wood depending... but not sure of actual species, the current one smells gorgeous, I keep a fair sized stack in the fire place and Its scenting the whole house. I find a mix of coal/logs lasts longer tho and when you open the fire doors you get that lovely smell of coal tar.

Definitely.

I hand chop all our firewood.

We go for buckskin larch and birch.

Nothing beats a wood so seasoned it dulls the chainsaw as you cut it.

That why then flames are blue.

Hottest burn ever. Well from the kind of wood we have here.


I just love wood so much lol
