A 13 year old modular home should be fairly tight. Where you are and 1800 sq feet I'm a guess 4 cords for a cold Winter. Final answer. Unthawing is like unfreezing, except opposite.
Hey guys thank you all for so much help! Even from watching my dad for thirty years burn wood I have learned so much on hear already! Moisture meter is in the mail and going back out today and tomorrow to get more wood since we have a break in the hot weather up here! I am including a picture of my woodstove, originally I intended to install my grandfathers 1985 American Eagle woodstove with a blower but unfortunately by building inspector did not want follow NFPA standards allowing me to build a heat shield off the back wall, even though we are both firefighters. So I ended up having to go purchase a different stove and ended up with this 2000 Quadrafire 3100 with a blower which seems to be a nice stove, but doesn't have that sentimental touch to it but I will enjoy it nonetheless. Installed this one myself making sure I followed all installation instructions, learned a lot just installing it! Thanks again for all the help guys!
