I echo KB's and Martha's comments. I grew up in a house heated only by a wood stove, and as a kid chopped and stacked a lot of wood ("wood warms twice" and all that), plus I was the designated early-morning fire stoker.
As soon as I was old enough, I immediately moved to warmer climes (even spent some time in Nords' vicinity), and haven't looked back since. No thanks.
But hey, have fun.
