What is the most wood you have burned in a week?

[merc_man]

It has been -20 or colder for the past week here at night time before the wind chill. I burned a whole face cord of wood and was just wondering what the most wood you have burned in a week?

When we had out 20 below weather for a couple of weeks I burned about a face per week in the OWB.
That's heating the house and barn.

During those brutal -25 with 40 mph wind blasts in January I burned just over a cord per week. Granted it wasn't all top notch wood and I heat 2 old farmhouses, but still.

1/3 of a cord per week when it was 0 or below every night.

It was -15 and colder the last week at night before wind and the days weren't too great. Took about 2/3 of a face cord.

3 weeks worth!

During polar vortex 1 we were doing a wheelbarrow and a half per day, plus one big round or ugly at night for an all nighter.

A bunch for here. 1/4 to 1/3 cord I guess that one wicked cold week.

We are heating one small leaky cabin plus the planet Earth.

Same here

Probably a couple of hundred pounds (thoroughly air-dried) per week. Never really counted- not an accountant.

Soooooo much preferable to gas or oil. No comparison. Stacks sufficient for many years. Bite me, Exxon/Mobil.

Wood box full usually lasts 5-6 days, been filling it every other day. Don't know how much that is but don't matter got lots.

 

[Jakers]

i can burn half a cord in each of my stoves in a week of cold weather. thats if im home to fill them every 3-5 hours. i could burn through upwords of 20 cord a year if i stayed home all the time

3 ricks in a week most of the time i burn 1 rick per week

 

[Ironworker]

This year, a lot.

As Much as needed....

This would be a good year to know your "total" wood consumption. It can be used as a "worst case" measuring stick for the amount of firewood you will need for any heating season. If you process the same amount of wood you used this year, every year, you will be able to handle a normal winter with ease. And still have enough in case of another "winter from Hell", like we just went through.

That's my plan.

 

[cheeves]

That's my plan.

Been thinking along the same line!!
Still need to cut some during the winter though to keep the pile up, and to stay in some kinda shape come end of this month when I go at it!

 

[mainewoods]

If anyone is serious about burning wood, and doesn't want to run out, it seems like an awful good plan to follow.

 

[Coldfront]

I don't keep track, but it is definitely this winter, and I''ll just say a lot.

"Winter from Hell" isn't done here yet, snowed about another 12" last night and still snowing. Neighbor measured the snow in the bed of his old truck parked for the winter, 43" as of this morning.
