Looks good. I lucked out when we bought this house. The previous owner installed a pellet burner in the finished basement and that thing puts out some serious heat. If I open the vents down there it easily heats the whole house. Pellets are dirt cheap too.

I like that a lot. Nice job. We've had a wood stove for heat and wood fireplaces in various homes over the years and I agree the cutting, stacking and the mess is a lot of work. In the small house we have now a gas fireplace does the job pretty well. My butt doesn't know the difference when I'm backed up to it in the morning.

Where I lived in Wyoming there was no natural gas to be had so we refitted our wood stoves to burn waste cooking oil. When it was really cold though we had to add unleaded gas to keep the cooking oil from jelling so it would still flow.

Looks good.
Did you consider a pellet stove, before going to natural gas?
I took a full time job off the farm recently so between that and farming, logging and hunting, processing firewood is looking more and more laborious. May consider going with a pellet stove in the house.

May consider going with a pellet stove in the house. When I lived in Washington I bought a Thelin pellet stove....only because it loosely resembles my old round oak... You would like it...it won't replace a nice round oak tho...
