Yikes, $1000 per month !!! (I think it's bad when we hit $200 or so... ) We have natural gas heat now, but for years heated our ranch-style house (about 1500 sq ft at the time, somewhat larger now after a couple of add-ons, with just a "regular" wood stove -- and in a lot of ways I still miss it. Many people here use the pellet stoves, seems like a really good alternative without the hassle of cutting and hauling the firewood!
