Well not free, your time is worth something. But I'm jealous, wish I had a wood stove or furnace

As I always tell my wife, my time is worthless 😁 you are correct though, it did take time but I look at it more as I'm paying myself, rather than paying the oil company or electric company.
I've been burning red oak, it breaks down to about 178 gallons of heating fuel per cord. I can buck, split and stack a cord in ~2 hours. At $4.62/gallon, I'm 'paying' myself ~$420/hour (lest the fuel/consumables for the saw and splitter), significantly more than I make at my day job.

It's time spent in the woods exercising, it's thoroughly enjoyable to most people who do it. Not everything is relatable to dollars, but if you must, I can certainly think of less lucrative activities we all engage with every day.

1200 sqft, $0, same setup. I even get a free membership to exercise in the forest gym out of it. Temps between 82 in the evening to 68 when we wake up.
