Everyone doesn't have access to land to cut wood. So back to buying again. Pellets are easy to find here wood is not right now. Also it is much more time consuming and some of us don't have the time. There are probably 100 other reasons but I don't have time to post them all right now.
Amen. 40 years of cutting, splitting,stacking, hauling, bugs, dirt, chainsaw problems, chain sharpening, back problems, middle of the night reloading, wear and tear on trucks, No thanks unless all other options are gone, which could be TOMORROW!
Oh I did the wood stove thing first about 37 years ago. No thanks, went to coal in between then and now. On pellets now. Wood, cut stack, ants, as mentioned chain saw, splitting wedges, sledge hammers, storage.. I ran a saw blade up the back of my leg, took out some meat but left the flap of skin to lay back down over the swath it took out. Still have the scar. Chimney fire finally ended that whole adventure. Not to mention cleaning the chimney is a bit more than brushing out the pellet vent. PITA wood is.
Most wood isn't controlled by big business but it is becoming increasingly controlled by Big Brother!
