Gas fireplace is so much less work and mess.....But .....I've been supplementing my oil burning hot water heating system with a wood burning stove since I built my house in '77.....cutting, splitting, drying and storing all that wood adds up to a lot of work.....and makes a mess. When my 100 year old mother in law lived here with us....she insisted on having the wood stove going at all times.......it's in the room where she spent most of her day.
