Whether that is valid or not I don't know but I rejected wood as my main heat source mainly because it is so labour intensive. From storage to burning would take far more work that I care for now, and looking to the future I don't want to face that when I am in my dotage.
Heating is the hardest job for alternates. I'm working up to microhydro and wind to run my heat in the future but right now I do use some wood and oil which I absolutely disdain!

Now that I'm so far ahead on my electric bill I'll run some electric space heaters this winter.

I thought about pellets but haven't researched the environmental impact and cost.
