Buckeye, if you have a wood fired arch you can take off the doors and make a plate to put a oil burner on without any cutting or welding. So you can try ether without being stuck to one fuel source. I did it on a small brothers arch last year and worked fine. My taps are not on my land so I have to buy the wood or oil. With work, family and being an Asst. Chief of my fire department I don't have the time or the room to split, stack and cover wood. But like others have said, what works for one may not work for others.
