    Altogether we’re close to 2 cord, with 1/3 of it being pine. And another half cord of mixed uglies. We’ve been burning pretty much steady since early October.

    Also pulling from not quite full piles left over from last year.
    Not quite 1/6 cord of pine.
    WAG: 1/3 to 1/2 cord of maple. 1/3 cord of oak.

    Probably 1.5 cords, mostly maple with a little oak mix. I had some an ear cord of locust that was in a stack several years, that a homeowner in town wanted rid of. Finally burned it all up. Burning a lot of recently felled maple, to ensure I don’t have to tear down a recently completed holsen haus, intended for next Fall. Have about a cord of seasoned in the woodshed I will hold onto for extreme cold.

    We have some high forties and mid fifties the next few days.

    Over a cord and 1/2 of Alder and Fir. We are into a couple of stacks of Cherry now. About 2/3 cord of it. Seems to be a good wood and holds the coals for quite a while.

    I think you are the champ so far at 6.25 cords, albeit poplar. We haven't heard from Rope, saskwoodburner, or Cold Trigger Finger yet. Maybe they burn it as fast as they get it, and can't keep count.

    Closing in on 10 cords. Not to difficult in the negative temp, we are not as cold as normal. I should be a few more cords into the burnt pile. C99AA9ED-198E-431A-81C8-B2B542B6E356.png

    I’ve burned maybe 2/3 of a cord. It’s all been ash and hackberry. Warm weather for another day will help save the wood, but then the temps drop and we will start going through it faster.

    About 1.25 cords so far, I think less than last year which is fine with me. Burning better seasoned wood this year is helping a lot.

    Can't really say what I have burnt as I moved about 1.5 cords to the house in October but I have just been keeping that topped off so I always have a big pile close just in case the bottom drops out. Guessing under a cord but close.

    I should keep track better but I burn from different stacks depending on the temperature and time of day. If I was guessing I would say a cord plus I took face cord to my son.
