I spent 5 years living in a place that was heated by a wood stove. Not gonna lie I miss it. It wasn't much work, and as I recall it was way cheaper than gas.
Yup, works so well, though I am getting tired of the cutting and splitting year after year, still cheaper than electric/gas. Feel sorry for the ones that use outdoor wood stoves though since they use so bloody much wood every year. Cost of wood has gone up a lot, 2 - 3k now for outdoor boilers. Cost for indoor stoves so much lower, like 10 - 15% of that if your insulation is up to snuff.
I've been able to get my wood from a boys ranch in my area, and they deliver and stack. Prices have gone up...even just a few years ago it was $160 a cord, and now its $215, but 2 cords get me and my wood stove (in the house) through the winter, so still cheaper than electric or gas heat.

I've always loved wood heat and have used a wood stove for 20+ years.
