    I have 30 cord of AK birch @ 23,600,000
    Per cord

    708,000,000 BTUs :yes:
    Being 100% birch , mines easy to calculate.
    (Not include 2 cord of fire pit uglies)

    Some here have so much, gotta break the trillion mark

    Wow Midwinter, that sure is perplexing.

    You are so beautiful with that blond hair, so I cannot understand why you dye your roots gray? :rofl: :lol:

    About 328 million btus as far as I can tell (roughly)

    46% from oil
    6% from propane
    40% from firewood
    8% from coal

    I used 131,000 btus for oil, 91,000 btus for propane, 26 million btus for firewood, and 26 million btus for coal.

    My house requires about 130 million BTU's for winter heat per season.

    I only have 20 cord of Eucalyptus @ 34,500,000 per cord

    690,000,000 BTU's .
    I think a gooder 8-10 year supply.

    That's a tough one Dave. Right now I'm not certain just how much firewood we have on hand. I would make a swag though. Maybe 200,000.

    Ooh, a 110% pie chart. So many with inflexible math skills have so much trouble with those.
    Same with those with no humor grey matter.




    100,000,000 oak
    40,000,000 maple
    some pine
    not enough for 2 Alaskan Winter but more than enough for here
    gotta get my arse in gear to get back on the three year plan

    edit: also about 150 gallons of HHo, so:
    20,803,ooo BTU added to above when push come to shove
    (with no $25/month charge for being connected to the oil tank )
