I used to burn 1500 gallons of propane a heating season to keep this old farm house at around 63 degrees. I added a wood stove to the basement and cut that down to around 1000 gallons still at 63 degrees.
I added an outdoor wood stove and now heat the house to 70+ degrees and burn zero propane. It uses about twice the wood of the indoor stove but I am also heating 100% with it and also heating my domestic hot water.
Propane is around 2.67 a gallon today UP here. So not buying 1000 gallons of propane saves me 2670 dollars this year alone. I can cut a lot of firewood for 2670 dollars, and my house is 7-10 degrees warmer for that savings.
As I clear fence lines, field edges, fields, driveway edges, etc I get most of my wood and those trees would get cut even if I heated with gas so its a win win.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
