Yep. I used to heat with wood. Wood heat warms you at least 5 different ways/times: cut, move, split, stack, burn, carry out ashes. Depending on where you are, you might have to add another step or two to the process.

We have a few maple trees, and the leaves don’t cause much of a problem. Sometimes I mow them in the fall, and other times they blow over to my neighbors’s yard, and he mows them.
