We do get those frosty mornings when it gets in the low 30's. Last Winter was so mild that I only used the fireplace twice.

We let the neighbor borrow one of our standing outdoor fire pits, so he and the hubby have been burning last years wood in that. This week the hubby and the neighbor got a 1/2 cord of wood, most of it was oak. The hubby knows the guy who sells the wood, so it always ends up being more than a 1/2 cord and he gets a good deal on it.
