Oak wood burns hot and for a long time. If you want to stay hot in the winter in the coldest of temperatures, then get a woodstove and fill it with oak firewood.
You can’t burn green wood (meaning it was just cut). The wood has to age and dry out. It takes at least six months before it can be at its perfect burning age. You cut down an oak tree, then with a chainsaw cut it into sizes that will fit into your wood stove. Then you have to chop it. Chopping it will make it fit better in the wood stove and also it will dry out faster. Stack the chopped firewood in rows and cover it to protect it from rain. Keep the sides of the stacked rows open so that the air can dry it out. Be sure to stack it in an area that does not have termites. Once you have enough for the winter, the let it sits there.
