I sometimes catch myself thinking about whether it’s worth collecting wood by the road to burn as a way to heat the house.

Some people on craigslist sometimes are giving away wood for free (you just need to arrange transport).

So yes, in some ways, it'd be whole lot cheaper, and nostalgic too.

Sounds great until you check an air quality map. It's been miserable here in the Bay Area between the storms. AQI of 100–150 depending.
