Typically around Mid October to late March. Winters have been erratic the past few years, but last year was the coldest in a while and we burned about 4 cords. We don't burn all day, only when we're home - and when we're home, the wood stove is always burning. We have electric heat, and a fairly efficient and modern heat pump, but the wood is a plenty and I just love the smell, comfort and rustic ambiance of burning wood.
We run a lot of electrical appliances from multiple beer fridges, reptile heaters and pumps for our four scaley critters, so burning wood saves big time on the electrical heating cost. I think our largest electric bill last winter was $140.

Went close to 9 cords last winter. Typical years 6 is enough. Seriously hope we don't see another 9 month heating season.
Lost a lot of harvest/splitting time caring for elderly father this year. He's improved over the past 4 weeks so... Should be back at it soon.

Heat 3600 sq. ft. home and DHW from October through April roughly go through about 10 cords depending on the winter sometimes a bit more some years a bit less.

I'll probably have the first fire sometime in October and burn till the cold weather stops. Dont know how much we burn cause I never count cords. Just CSS and burn when the time comes.
2/4 a year but I'm prepared to burn as much as needed. I hate the cold.
I have 40 cord but I sell what I don't use.

Are you talking, like, REAL cords?
I don't think 30 cords is possible....is it ?
I know a guy that has a stove in his shop in town that he loads 6-8ft logs in with his forklift. I'm sure it possible but doesnt seem possible in a house.
