    Hard for me to tell because I am like Horkn I replenish the patio often. Guessing 2-2 1/2 cords. I have hauled in about 4 cords to replenish the stacks so far.

    I am at just about 4.5 cords so far, probably a little less than other years at this time.

    I burn (OWB) anything from chips,sawdust bark, slab wood and rounds from tree trimmers. It’s all inside and can be shoveled in if need be. If I had to guess by the area I’ve consumed it would be about 50 cubic yards of loose thrown which should come out to about 8 cords in a massive old farmhouse and hot water for 6 people. Have made some insulation improvements in the last 6 months which I feel have made a difference.

    It’s been hard to keep track. I’ve burnt a lot of uglies and cookies. Guessing we’ve burnt around 2 cord. We’ve had the windows open a lot this winter. I love winter, my work slows down and I enjoy the slow time but this winter was a muddy mess!

    I don’t really know how much I’ve burned this year but it is significantly less than other years for sure. Another thing new for us was getting our wood put up earlier than usual last year so it was much drier than other years. I’m sure that helped us as well even though we have an owb.

    Guesstimate 2 cords. Mix of tulip, Catalpa and less than perfect red oak for the few cold days and overnight. Was some pine in there at the beginning of the season. Haven’t turned the furnace on yet.
    It’s been a good year for shoulder season wood.

    Lighter than in the past for sure. We've burned through maybe 4 cord so far. Plenty in reserve so we don't spare the wood... Wife likes the house toasty all the time.

    About 3 cords mix of ash, maple and red oak. Then add in almost a cord (figuring my pallet boxes are 4' cube, 2 boxes emptied) of uglies and little chunkies. I wasn't cheap with the wood this year either. Filled up the stove almost every time.
    I had 6 cords stacked for this year, have 3 left, and 2 split and stacked last spring, so I think I am good for 2020/2021 season.

    I believe we’re just over 2 cord burned with about 1.5 left for the season. Last winter was 5 total so way below that. A fair amount has been punky beech too on the warmer days. Milder temperatures and 6 replacing the last 6 single pane windows helps. High winds have very little effect now compared to past years.

    973BAAC8-E6D0-4E99-B93E-B15685BF54D6.jpeg I have burned a little under a cord so far. This is my first full year with a stove and second year total. I burn from about 5pm until 3am. Stove is very efficient. I was planning to burn about a cord and a half in order to stay with my 2 year plan.
