At LEAST 30 years ago I had a physicist from Oak Ridge National Laboratory at my home for dinner. I forget his name. And I was showing off my wood stove. And he said, "If you're going to heat with wood, just bring in a wheel barrow full of wood and put it next to your wood stove." So, this guy was a smart physicist, and he live in the woods of Tennessee, and it's only taken me about 30 years to take his advice.
I've probably done my last fire in the wood stove for the season.
And today I will go Off Grid till after the fall Equinox.
And, you know, I'm pretty lazy ... I don't cut and split fire wood. I buy it from an neighbor who has a machine that cuts logs, splits them, and throws the split wood into the back of a dump truck. So there Mr. Henry David Thoreau.
OMG! I haven’t laughed so hard since moving out here and sweating that wood AT LEAST 10 times. Per rick. Shopping list: Chinese battery powered wheelbarrow and dog ramps. Ty~

Actually, when I checked the specs, my heat pumps are 400% efficient. Maybe only 300% at minus 5 oF.
