... the only way burning wood is better than fossil fuels is that no 'extra' carbon is put into the system.

Burning a tree is not the most environmental way of disposing of it Jim. It would be far better to let it rot where it falls.
Trees left to rot in their natural environments provide valuable habitats for hedgehogs, insects and fungi and so on. And as animals are a well known producer of CO2, perhaps it's in the climate's best interests, long term, if their habitats are used to warm Jim's house instead.
No Jim its FACT. Burning turns pretty much all the carbon into CO2, rotting returns much of it direct to the soil. i'm not suggesting you don't do it, it is better than coalk, just don't be smug thinking you're doing the trees a favour.
