    1/4-1/3 face cord so far. About 14 morning fires and 3 evening fires. Have not burned all day yet.

    Edited to add, might be a little more than that but you-all get the idea.
    Been pretty darn warm and we only had 2 hard frosts so far.

    I have brought in a full cord so far, a mix of ash, maple, oak, black birch and a couple pieces of black locust, Burned about half a cord. My indoor wood storage holds almost a cord and I like to keep it just about filled. At least once every 10 days it gets topped off with 3 cartloads.

    Burned around 1/4 face cord. Mostly uglies, some Basswood, spruce and a little bit of seasoned ash/maple to get the fire going good. I enjoy using this time of year to try and use up as much crappy wood I have laying around that I can while still keeping plenty warm.

    We have used at least a face cord, maybe 2. It gets colder here and we were having hard frosta when they called for night temps of 40. Had 6 inches of snow already, but it melted off. Highs in the 50's the last few days. Supoosed to cool off in a day or two.

    2 cord for the house since September. About a cord in the garage and maybe 1/3 cord for the sauna.

    I’ve been doing so much CSSing and moving wood around that it’s hard to tell. I still have at least 1/3 of this cottonwood a buddy gave me (photo is from a while back!) - and we’ve been burning quite a bit, despite the unseasonably warm weather here. Mostly just for the fun of it and also so we don’t have to pay to heat the house!

    Less than a quarter of a cord, maybe even half that. Talking rain this afternoon but still 40 degrees out heading to mid-50's this afternoon. May have snow next weekend.

    About 3/4 of a cord between the home, cabin, sauna, fire pit, and bunkhouse. Mostly birch, poplar, silver maple, black ash, and some sugar maple in the sauna for a little extra heat for longer.

    Dipping around freezing for several nights here and more to come. Firewood consumption is ramping up! Putting that new wheelbarrow to work!

    We're dipping into a cold spell Thursday with overnight single digits and 30-40 during the day. Out here, a sunny day vs. cloudy day seems to make a big difference in firewood usage. It could be the elevation (almost 5,000 feet), but a cloudy day like today kept the wood stove on all day. Just moved the last of my 1/2 cord pallet to the firewood rack next to the stove.

    How much wood to you expect to use this year? That's a lot so far!

    Probably burn about 9 to 10 more cord until June. I may end up burning a few in my shop also if I get a lot of shop work this winter into spring. I didn't include that from my original post because usually I just burn construction scrap in there.

    I’ve blown past 1/2 cord and the heat pump has been dormant so mission accomplished.
