Twice?? Hmmm... I think your count is awry ;)
First you cut it. Sit down and cool off.
Then you split it. Sit down and cool off.
Then you transport it to the wood shed. In my case this is via
wheelbarrow. Sit down and cool off.
Now you get to carry it into the house. In this case you are trying
to get warm so no cool down period ;)
Then you burn it.
There is also the part where you clean the chimney and carry out the
ashes. I think I will leave that out of the equation.
Cut + Split + Haul + Burn = 4 warming experiences minimum.
Take care city slickers and country folk alike, Spring is swift upon us.

I have been wondering how come the "OT POLICE" haven't pounced on this
thread yet, then I realized, it was leading up to the Elecraft
announcement of a new, wood powered transceiver. One piece of split Oak
will give 5W out for 6 hours. I understand the official announcement
will be April 1st.
