Default log burning - economical?

As others have said - look at the costs of a suitable chimney/flue

Effectiveness depends on the design of your house - open plan-ish is
good to get the radiant heat from the stove about.

You will need significant storage space for logs, and at least the
fitness level to stack them when delivered, and bring indoors what you
need every day - even if you don't seek out your own.

At risk of stating the obvious - green wood needs to be seasoned for
at least a year.


Nah. You can chuck it straight on. It seasons in about 20 mins. If whats
there is hot enough.
