Firewood as a solution to high gas price? Ridiculous. Worse decision ever. What next, go to caves and prey hunting? How long do they plan to replace gas with firewood? Few years and there will be no trees on the earth.
Oak firewood has a big minus. Oak takes a very long time to dry.
Much bigger minus is that it takes ages for tree to grow...
I have a gas heated house and have not used a fireplace for many years, but if there are problems with gas or electricity, then a fireplace can be used.
I have a fireplace also, but its purpose is to heat biggest room only. I know that is individual, but one fireplace usually dont heat whole house, but having multiple fireplaces at home is an expensive investment during construction period, it limits useful space at home. And keeping fire creates minor inconveniences. It is not pull the handle and go to sleep.
