I'm good until mid JAN I suspect with my wood pile... Gets harder and harder each year to keep building it up... Wood is free but lots of work...
The fire place is the only heat we have here in Northern Neck VA supplemented by a couple of oil-filled electric heaters I pull from the trailers when parked...
We can keep the house in the 72-74 range during the winter nights and the daily power bill is usually around $8-$10 when we start burning wood. Have no idea how this stacks up against total electric or oil heat. Think I am on the good side for expenses... Have heard some real horror stories from the neighbors for filling up the fuel oil tanks....
