i burn 30 cords

 

[Multifaceted]

Typically around Mid October to late March. Winters have been erratic the past few years, but last year was the coldest in a while and we burned about 4 cords. We don't burn all day, only when we're home - and when we're home, the wood stove is always burning. We have electric heat, and a fairly efficient and modern heat pump, but the wood is a plenty and I just love the smell, comfort and rustic ambiance of burning wood.

We run a lot of electrical appliances from multiple beer fridges, reptile heaters and pumps for our four scaley critters, so burning wood saves big time on the electrical heating cost. I think our largest electric bill last winter was $140.

Went close to 9 cords last winter. Typical years 6 is enough. Seriously hope we don't see another 9 month heating season.

Lost a lot of harvest/splitting time caring for elderly father this year. He's improved over the past 4 weeks so... Should be back at it soon.

I'll probably have the first fire sometime in October and burn till the cold weather stops. Dont know how much we burn cause I never count cords. Just CSS and burn when the time comes.

Last year was are first year to burn.....I'm gonna guess n say 2.5 - 3 cords n about 25 gallons of fuel oil. This year I'll know for sure. We started about mid October n burnt up till April.

I know a guy that has a stove in his shop in town that he loads 6-8ft logs in with his forklift. I'm sure it possible but doesnt seem possible in a house.
