Comment on "Mom, we can just go back to burning wood"

I did go back to burning wood. Per watt of heat it’s roughly ⅓ of the price where I live and with the specific set up I have. However the largest drawback of wood is that it entails a lot of manual work. First I have to spend a dozen hours carrying wood into the basement during autumn. Then during winter I have to go down 2-3 times a day to feed the furnace. However to me it’s worth it. It’s a comfy ritual that saves 5-20 euros every single day during winter depending on what the electricity price is that day.

Firewood warms you three times!
It’s very efficient that way

If you set yourself on fire, it can keep you warm for the rest of your life.

I’ve been told not to set myself on fire to keep others warm, but if it’s just for me that should be okay?

Unlike all of the other heating sources we have! Damn EPA making sure new stoves are 95% efficient and not holding oil burners to such a high standard!

You realize it was a joke, right? I mean, the crying-laughing emoji was intended to indicate that subtle humor was in play.
