    There is a lot of work that goes into those beautiful stacks of wood that everyone shows on here all the time. The person in that picture still has a lot of loading to do.

    think about how many times wood heats you
    cutting
    splitting
    stacking
    bringing it in
    then you finally burn it

    Whoever said that wood warms you twice was definitely mathematically challenged!
