The house I lived in during college had a wood buring stove. It was great. Kept the main floor super hot. We'd cook our dinner on top.

I don't know if you can confirm this ben...but we were told that using pine can cause a chimney fire....because it burns so hot.

We got most of our wood from local farmers who wanted some land cleared out.

We also were given a lot of 2x4's from a local mill that gave us all of the bent and knotted boards they couldn't use.

I would definatly consider a wood stove...just make sure it has glass doors...ours didn't and ocasianaly a burning log would roll out when we opened the door.
