Have you considered natural gas?
Efficient use, of course; I'm aware that underground gas is a sink. But decaying wood releases less carbon into the atmosphere than combusting wood.
Now I want to run numbers.

Is this the kind of thing where prices differ across states?

That tends to vary as well, I believe; supply and demand and all that.

I miss a logfire so very much. It's the most comfortable heat. <3 *NM*

Ugh, I try not to think about it. Electric storage heaters are a very expensive way to heat a house.
