Glad you got your firewood. And thanks for passing on a story about good customer service. You don't hear much along those lines these days.

Here in the east the government was (I believe still is) giving 30% rebate credits on the purchase of new wood stoves. Reason being they are "greener" in the long run than other types of home heating equipment (no fossil fuels, more exercise for the citizens, recycle trees rather than carting them to landfills, etc...etc...)

So it may not be as many laps as you think....

But again, the east has an abundance of hardwoods (oak, maple, etc.) to burn, in Utah you have to rely on more pine and softwoods.

I just installed a fireplace insert woodburner in order to take advantage of a huge maple I had to have felled, saved money on the job by the person I hired not having to haul the wood away. Started splitting mid October and am STILL going, front yard, side yard and deck covered in firewood.

I'm not sure what I have gotten myself into, but I am in good enough shape to outrun the devil....
