I have never really tracked the time from start to finish but one things for sure. If I counted my time as money I don’t believe I would be saving as much money as I like to think I am.

I look at the total in which i save not having to purchas oil. I don't break it down for that reason. I also have the piece of mind knowing that I dont rely on fossil fuel and Im not taking part in boosting record profits of big oil
Iv cut my time down from the original post now that im getting the wood locally

That is a good feeling, plus because there isn't a direct cost assosicaed with each piece of firewood I never hesitate to throw another piece in the stove to keep the house a little warmer. I also have a pellet stove and every bag I put in it costs $6, so I tend to want to turn it down as soon as possible to get more out of each bag.....
