Bold move with the wood all stacked on the porch, no issues with termites in your part of the world? I was always taught that wood is kept away from the house for pest issues... and I was raised in a home that burned 4+ cords per year. We split and stacked it ourselves. We also had to shovel a path to the pile every storm. I must say, a pile on the porch seems pretty cush!There are places where you cannot install a woodstove. The dry heat from our stoves is really nice. There are some downsides to heating with wood. The firewood is messy to deal with. We have three humidifiers running in our music room to get the humidity to 50%. In winter, we lose part of the view from our living room windows.
