Keeping warm during the winter months for some isn’t as simple as turning the thermostat. Burning firewood is hard work from cutting splitting and stacking to constantly tending fires all winter long. Some find the reward is worth the burden. Cutting firewood can teach children valuable work ethic and responsibility. Firewood is renewable and cheaper depending on how you value your time. Also a good wood fire has a tendency to bring family and friends together closer whether around a camp ring or living room stove. That time can be priceless.
