The use of woodfire ovens has seen a downward trend in recent years, with most dwellings using electric or gas-powered heaters. This figure however does give insight into how cold a city is.
The city that uses the most wood is Hobart, with 15.0 percent of households using the energy fuel. The city using wood the least is Brisbane, with just 2.2 percent of households; unsurprising, given it has the hottest year-round temperatures.
