We have wood fireplace to heat up our home. It cost roughly $200 for each cord of wood if we don't have friends who let us cut up their dead trees. (We are lucky as we live in the mountains). Normally we need 5-6 cords each winter.

However, there are several communities trying to Ban wood burning fireplaces due to pollutions. I find this a joke sometimes because the lawn mover emits way more pollution than a wood burning fireplace.
