It's cheap. A cord of seasoned hardwood delivered is running about $250 but if you own a decent chainsaw and are willing to do your own cutting and splitting (another source of some good exercise) the cost goes down to literally nothing.
I love the smell of wood smoke. The scent of it pervades the house and it's so cheery I find myself looking forward to coming home every night. It kinda reminds me of camping which is something else I love to do.

All good points
Plus I just like the look of a nice fire, it really adds to the feel of a room\house.
Also, this year two of my boys helped me pack it in the garage, we had a great time ( well they complained a little
). Memories they will carry with them forever.
