Wood is cheapest after all the sweat, but I certainly wouldn't use it, but only because I have access to natural gas, which is cheap and easy.

If I didn't have access to natural gas, I'd probably install a heat pump and use that most of the time, supplementing with wood on the coldest days. Simply running the air handler would distribute the heat from the fireplace.

My only interest in wood fires these days is around a fire pit. Don't get me wrong, I have fond memories as a kid chopping and stacking wood, building a fire, and falling asleep in the only warm part of the house. Ain't nobody got time for that anymore.
