Finally, the amount of wood that you will need to ciit would be reduced by properly seasoning the wood for a year or so, and by burning the wood in an efficient air-tight heater. This type of stove will certainly pay for itself within a couple of years, considering the fuel savings. Common sense and careful forethought in the selection of trees to cut will assure a sustained yield of firewood indefinitely.
