However some of the carbon ends up as methane.
Methane is a worse greenhouse gas.

No, it isn't.

It breaks down very quickly.


AIUI - it is, but it breaks down very quickly.

A constant feed of methane means a constant atmospheric level. I burn
the wood, save the oil, and know my heating is carbon neutral.

How many years does it take to grow the wood you burn?
Unless it is instant or you planted it years ago to burn then you have
burnt x tons of wood and produced x tons of CO2 that is now in the
atmosphere.
Greens may claim its carbon neutral but it isn't.

You can buy carbon credits and make anything carbon neutral these days
even though its another lie.
