Costs of heating a yurt

[katherines3]

I am considering a yurt purchase and wonder what you can tell me about

heating

costs. I ask because I live in a place where winter seriously communicates the need to find a way to be warm, but I work 10 miles away during the day. I can stoke up a wood stove so there will be hot coals when I get home, but there will be no one there except the cat to keep it going until then. If I keep some minimal level of alternative

heating

going during the day so that I have a bit of comfort when I greet the cat (not to mention her comfort of course!), will I have created a ginormous monthly energy bill? I have only begun to explore alternative heating sources, but have thought about propane. I will have electricity on this site, and hope to power some of that with solar. Appreciate any and all advice!
