The greatest problem would be accidental fires. These are caused by improper installation of the stove (having it too close to a combustible surface) and failure to maintain the stove and chimney (cleaning chimney of creosote buildup). You will also need to dispose of ash and coals safely. We have heated with wood for years, and enjoy it, but it does require attention, care, and tending the fire. Some people will not devote the attention and energy that it requires- they just want to push the button on the thermostat.
