paulc said:The proce one pays for logs varies quite a bit depending on where you are in the country. In East Anglia, a load, which might be two cubic metres is around £180. Once neatly stacked, you'd be lucky to get one cubic metre.
Wood makes sense for as long as you have a free or dirt cheap source of logs and somewhere to process & store them. If you are having to buy the stuff in ready to burn, gas, oil, or even coal is much cheaper in my opinion.
