How long have you heated with wood?

Real close to 40. 10+ years while I was growing up. Then 10 years without wood heat till I had my own place and it’s been almost 30 since then.

 

Ever since I could I guess. As long as I've been alive, heating with wood has been a part of my life. Sometimes it was just the cabin, sometimes the wood furnace, or stove, or insert. Campfires have always been a part of my life since childhood too

 

I have heated every winter with wood (22 winters ).
I was clearing the old neglected fields so i had an great supply of firewood.

 

I chose 30-40. It’s been 30 in my own house and I’ll add some on for all the wooding I did in my parents house.
Now if I create the equation that I supply my moms house and my sisters,,,,,,,never mind, don’t wanna think about that

 

30-40 here if I include time spent burning and processing at my folks house as a kid. Processed probably 250 full cords in that time. Vast majority from live standing tree.

 

30 or so yrs here. Have heated with wood in every location that I've lived.

I started Fall of 2014.

 

We put an addition on the house in 1988. The addition included the brick hearth and wood stove. So, ~34 years.

 

I bought my home in September of 2009, and installed my psg caddy so I could heat that winter. I had cut firewood with my FIL before purchasing our home and also with a landowner whose land I deer hunted on years ago, so I was not new to firewooding. This is my 14th winter heating with firewood. Nowhere near tired of it!

 

Since 1965, with the exception of a couple short stints in homes that didn't have a wood heat source. About 30 of my 56 yrs. have been with wood as the primary heat source.

 

Backwoods Savage a percentage of people are younger than the number of years you have been burning…

I am not putting a number on that percentage; I will leave that to others..

 

I chose 30-40. 22 in the house I’m in now and adding on when I was a kid and would help Dad gather wood and haul it into the house for Mom and grandparents. Good memories.

 

About 28 years.

 

I put 40-50 yrs been married 52 going on 53 yrs , started getting in the wood for mom and dad’s stove when I was about19 yrs old. Thankfully I’m 74 still getting in my/our wood. Figure it helps to keep me healthy, and it feels good to get back into the woods, cutting wood!

 

7 years in an 1830s farmhouse burning 8 cords a year and 30 years in a 1300 sq ft house burning 2-3 cords a year

 

I'm in the 40-50 years category. ( )

I didn't count the time growing up; just the years I have been heating with wood.
