I had to go find out what a gaspack is.  Near as I can figure out, it  
runs on gas and both heats and cools the house.

That's what we have here.  This house came with a Hearthstone wood  
stove. One of those with the soapstone in and on it, and without the  
catalytic converter stuff inside.

There has been a blight among dogwood trees.  All but one had died at  
our MD house when we moved out of it two years ago.  The wood is very  
dense, and I'm not surprised it makes good firewood.  I presume that  
osage orange (horse apple) would be, too, if only you could manage to  
get it into stove length pieces!
