Reply #14: I don't think wood is appropriate for cities. [View All]

Way too many people concentrated into a small area, too many fires would be necessary. Perhaps some use of masonry stoves might work to heat multiple unit buildings; those are quick, very hot fires that use little fuel but give off heat for many hours afterwards.

There's probably something more efficient for heating many dwellings crowded close together, though.

I don't live in the city, and I burn wood that would have been burned by the forest service anyway; burned in the open.
