cut more trees to heat your home which is not good.

another thing is ... are u allergic to wood smoke? if you are .. then you are best not to use wood stove.

growing up we used wood stove and i always constantly get sick every winter. Finally my mom said no more wood stove so she went and bought gas to heat the house up. First winter I wasnt sick? WTF?? thats when we learned I AM ALLERGIC to wood smoke!

so something to think about... its a big decision i know.. sighs..

I only use a wood stove now for the past 3 years and I love it.  As for gas for my car, I intend to park it for the next few months and will walk to work.

I use my wood stove when the temperature is below 45 degrees, cold rain, or if we have no electricity as we use electric heat.

I'm not so worried about that right now, when it comes down to it, then I'll go from there.

My husband and I use oil burner to heat the house which is kind of expensive but we need it to keep warm. My husband use the wood stove in his hut outside of our house and he spend his time there when he is working on his project. As for gas it is getting ridiculous expensive and we don't have any choice because we live in the country.

I don't understand you are not worry about your truck too.
Truck's gasoline is more expensive than heater.

I hardly use heater. I like to being connect with cold weather. Wear thick cloths, save money.

I don't like burn wood, it's not good environment. That mean you kill some tree. Bird lost their home.

We worried a lot and already we have separate electric heat in each room and just turn up high in room we are using. This saves lots of money.

One of the reasons I'm moving to the country before next fall and winter is 100% heat and some cooking will be from woodstoves.

I'm already stocking up. There is enough natural deadfall on the place so no live trees need to be cut, but even if they did, wood is a renewable source and there's so much of it where I live in Oregon. If you don't use it, it just lies there and rots.

I safely used wood as primary fuel in Montana, and like the smell very much, though I realize it bothers some.

Not worry since I am in California where it doesn't get too hot or too cold. But am getting concern with the gas price.... it's going overboard. Carpooling is what I've been doing to save $$.

Actually--I got it for free last year. And this year-- I got it free again due to trees coming down in the wind storm.

So-- this summer I will be cutting the stumps up for the woodstove next year.

We use propane for heating and they are turned off for the summer, no AC my wife doesnt like it.

We each have our own snowmobiles and it is a little bit worrysome but for now we just go with what we got and try to keep our long distance travelling to a minium.

im not that much worried because i live in CALIFORNIA where it is great weathers is going on afterwards. Only thing i would worry about gas prices since i can afford to spend on..

Average gas prices in California from between $3.80 to $ 4.05 dollars per gallon. I should be fortunate to live here instead live in Hawaii because their unleaded (87) cost around $4.15 dollars something like that (my friend who live in Hawaii and told me about it, yikes)

I do missed 80's where i kept see my parents pay 20 bucks full in SUV and nowsdays, SUV costs a lot money around 60-80 bucks to full up in SUV. INSANE.
