We heat with wood only, even though we have a propane burning furnace.* I enjoy the wood cutting/moving routine, though I realize that may not always be the case.* Heating with wood is kind of a hobby with me.

But here's my suggestion: Look into a way to get a wood burning furnace for a lot less that $15,000.* *I'll bet you could do that.

Here's a forum with some real wood-heating fanatics who can answer all your questions:

Also, have you considered a wood stove type fireplace with ducts for distributing the heat?* How big is your house?
