Winters here in northern NY can get chilly, and in a rural area like ours, there's probably a majority of people who use wood as at least part of their heating scheme. My grandparents heated a large old farmhouse exclusively with wood (a basement furnace and a second stove on the front enclosed porch) until about 10 years ago, when we installed a wood/oil combination furnace in place of the wood-only basement furnace. My parents built their house in 1967 with oil-fired hot water heat, but installed a Fisher wood stove in the early 70's when it became apparent that oil prices were on the way up, and still use it as a supplement. I, on the other hand, live in a mobile home, and though it sits on a full basement (and thus isn't terribly mobile, unless it's windy out!), neither I nor my insurance company is real fond of the idea of me having a wood stove, though the previous owner did. I took that out of commission (you could throw a cat through the cracks in it, and I'm frugal, not suicidally cheap!) and have relied on extra insulation and sealing up cracks to keep my fuel oil bill under control. As was mentioned in another post, a programmable thermostat is an excellent investment as well, and will pay for itself in a matter of months.
