Did God not also make the natural gas, propane, coal, oil, and for that matter the water that produces hydroelectric power?
We burned wood for years, and my kids grew up helping with stacking and bringing the wood into the house. I did enjoy the facts that OUR house would be warm and cozy if the electricity went out and that we had much more control over whether or not we would have heat. But I do not miss the mess of dealing with a wood stove in the house. I also do not miss the large amount of work that heating with wood used to cause me to have to do. And I pay MUCH less for home insurance since I no longer have a wood stove.
About 20 years ago, I heard about a natural gas line going down our road, and as I planned to build a new house about then, I got that set up to use natural gas for most heating jobs. Since we moved in, I have had to do nothing to the furnace but change filters, nothing at all to the water heater, and only changed a defective motor in our gas clothes dryer. My gas bill has never been over $200/month, and some months it is only about $20. Gas is EASY, inexpensive and dependable. And since my wife developed asthma, wood heat is really no longer an option.
Not everyone has the option of hooking up to a natural gas line, but in my opinion, if it is available, gas is probably the easiest and cleanest heating choice. It also may be the least expensive, if your time is worth anything to you.
Good luck with your wood heat. I hope you and your family continue to enjoy it!

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
