I go through a tank of oil a month, so I haven’t turned that on yet. I also have wood stoves, definitely using those way more this year to offset since cord wood didn’t get impacted really.

Growing up we had 2 woodstoves as our main source of heat. There is something about walking into a nice warm toasty house heated by wood. Its like a different heat if that makes sense.

I didn't know the right word to describe it. All of my friends loved coming to my house after a day of sledding or snowball fights. We would all hang in the room where the woodstove was.

Right in front of the stove where it’s 120°! My kids do the same thing now.

100%. Especially after coming in from snow blowing or something, you can’t beat a fire!

I'm wondering how long it will be before the firewood guys figure out they can charge more and get away with it, just like the oil guys did.

Typically you buy wood by the cord and would buy enough for the season. So most people would have already bought and wouldn’t need to think about getting more until next summer/fall. Hopefully all of this craziness is over by then.

We stocked up on wood this year and plan to use our oil furnace as a little as possible.
