Well the stove came with the house so no money there. Biggest cost I guess would be gas for the truck and chainsaw. Chainsaw cost around $300 and lasted 12 years, and every now and then I'll spend $20 and get the chains sharpened. I split the wood with a maul that cost around $25 and I scrounge the wood instead of buying it. A lot of time and labor means lower costs. I'm betting the cost per year to heat the house is around $200.
