On the plus side for wood, you folks do have quite a work out bringing wood in from the wood pile. That is a healthy thing to do.

I use propane for my clothes dryer, hot water and forced hot air (when I don't have the wood stove going). The dryer was initially electric but when I bought the house I had the line installed.
I will caviate it by saying the furnace is always set around 62F though. If I'm cold I'll get the wood stove going and keep it above 70 in the house (2500 sqft). Granted the past weeks cold temps at night was interesting.
