How Much Wood Have You used

[laynes69]

I just spoke with a man that's cutting around here. I was telling him how much we've burned. We burned 2/3 cord, while he's burned 3 1/3 cord (ouch!). I'm grateful for an efficient furnace, and good insulation. He's heating an old drafty farmhouse with his OWB. The problem is it hasn't been that cold. The coldest I've seen was 17° one morning. Today was in the low 50's, so I cut about 1.25 cord after work today.

Probably about 1/2 cord of uglies, sticks, bark, etc....... It all burns baby

Same here. Just threw in a few ends of pine from my woodshed build also. That was not an expected source of heat this yr and to my surprise about 10 pcs(2x8x6) burned for all the early evening. The great thing was my 6yr old daughter got the pride of knowing she carried them all in.

Our weather has been lows in the 30's and highs in the 40's or 50's. Supposed to see 60's this weekend. I hate this kind of weather. It's too warm to burn during the day, so it seems like I'm always lighting a fires. I like to fire it up and just keep it going. We have a rock wall (where the fireplace & the insert is located) that runs down the middle of most of our house, and once the stove has been going for a couple days straight, it acts like a giant radiator. Anyway, I've used just over a cord so far.

I have burned so little that I just posted some of this years for sale on Craigslist @ 1/8 of a cord at a time...

Wouldn't want it sitting around rotting lol.

I am 3-4 years ahead right now and running out of room on my property.

Thats a great feeling and a great problem to have. I have more space, and enough for this winter and probably 4-5 more.

Almost a half cord, about 80% Ash, 20% red oak. started burning in mid October on and off. heating 2700 sq ft with the Jotul F500. Brand new house, brand new to burning, so I have no real guess on what my usage will be. I also tend to go through a decent amount of wood because I am home during the day and I really like the feel of a 70 degree house.

I'm still burning the shorties, and uglies. This time last year I was well into the stove-length, good stuff.

Not complaining though.

Not even a 1/3 cord yet! Been really mild here in eastern Oklahoma. Just a morning fire usually keeps the house in the 70s. If we had this kind of winter every year, I don't think I'd have to cut any more wood for about 10 years.

Our lowest low for the next 10 days is 21. That is a normal high temp for this time of year, not that I am complaining.

My neighbor's sprinklers never got winterized (their service never showed up to do it) so I am taking care of that for them tonight. Normally they would have been SOL and everything would be frozen solid.

About a cord.

 

[fearofpavement]

Not very much. We've been wearing T-shirts this week with temps in the 60's and 70's. Pretty nice! Haven't had many phone calls for firewood. First time it hits 20 degrees everyone will be wanting wood. lol.

 

[hardpan]

I am embarrassed. I started my first fire last night. Should hit 24* tonight but back up to 50 on Sunday.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Probably right around a cord but about 1/3-1/2 was shoulder season wood of Silver Maple, Crab Apple and a bit of Piss Elm. The T-6 is chewing on Hedge right now though.

 

[ChoppyChoppy]

Have burned about 15 cords in the shop. At home, maybe a cord or so. I don't really keep track.

 

[colin.p]

Almost a cord, three chairs and a table...

 

[greenskeeper]

1/3 as much compared to last year

Yeah I just took the air conditioner out of the window to help it warm up a little quicker.

A little under half a cord and maybe 20 gallons of Diesel In the Furnace. Finally got a tiny dusting of snow. Maybe 1/4 of an inch in Northeast ohio. It's about 20 out.
