Do you have a forced air wood furnace, or an outdoor boiler?
We used a Yukon Klondike indoor furnace for a couple years it was very wood hungry. Now we have a Lamppa Kuuma vapor fire. It's much more miserly and requires loading less frequently which is more convenient. We used about 5-6 cords heating our small but drafty log cabin.
Why should it be any different than using face cord as a measurement? Full cord is 8x4x4 and I'm sure we all stack them tight no big gaps . I burned about 4 cords last season. Less than we average of 6 a season . This year was weird not too cold all winter but it stayed cold into May .Way people on here throw around the term CORD is hard to know what they burn.
I burn on adverage 12 (12 devided by 3 equals 4 ful cord.)face cord during a winter to maintain 75F in a 1875 Sq. Ft. house useing a England 28-3500 indoor ad on wood furnace.
We are in SE Michigan.

He needs a full size door.Duce, put in a doggie door. We have 4 of them and it saves a ton of getting up and down. Out little girl refuses to use the basement one though so she gets special treatment. The lab uses the doggie doors most of the time. She also just opens the door herself when she’s in a hurry. We have all lever door handles and she knows how to use them. I have one on the shop door so they can come and go to check on me. When I’m doing hand work they lay there and watch, when grinding or welding them step out until the noise stops.
I burn lots of wood and don’t keep track. Heat two houses including domestic hot and my 24x 60 shop and 24x price kids play room beside the shop.

At some point, the number doesn't really matter; it's just fkng cold. I think -40 falls into that category.Somewhere around 2.5 cords. Don't keep close track.
Heating season is ~8 months.
Keep the house 68-70*. Doesn't get super cold here though, not like up north where it easily gets colder than -40*.
