Firewood and your first or second home

Most people only own one home, so luckily this article by the New York Times, although written for people who have two homes, has good hints for anyone that burns firewood to heat their residence.

Here is a quick snippet:

Modern wood-burning stoves not only burn more cleanly than old ones, they reduce wood consumption. “We now use half the wood we used to,” Ms. Hooper said, requiring about four cords all winter to heat the house they live in full time. They get their wood free from their five-acre property and by harvesting fallen trees on nearby public lands.

The article doesn't explicitly talk about the threat of moving pests on firewood, but it does discuss how firewood is a local product that can be inexpensive. So while of course I'd have preferred some classy coverage of our website, I still liked this article.
