I use wood 99.99% for primary heat with an oil fired boiler for backup heat and a separate oil fired water heater. I service and fire the boiler in the fall to ensure it runs, give it one or two heat cycles, then turn the t-stat down to 50 and it won't fire up again unless we leave for a couple of days. The house is an early '80s energy efficient design. It's about 2000 sq ft, single story, concrete slab, earth berm on 3 sides and something like 14" of insulation in the attic space. I throw a few pieces of wood on the fire before leaving for work in the morning and the house is still around 55 when I get home in the evening although the fire's been out for hours.
I started at 5 cord per year when I moved in, down to about 3.5 between switching to a reburning stove and improving insulation. We actually get about as much rain here in central NH as Seattle, most of it in the spring and fall. The first couple of years here, as soon as it got warm I'd be scrambling to scrounge, split, and stack all my wood by July 1 so it'd be plenty dry for winter but that meant working through some pretty miserable weather. Now I've got 2 sheds built and 2 outdoor piles as well which really allows a lot of freedom in sourcing wood. I have considered paying to have log lengths delivered but so far I've been able to find "free" wood every year. FWIW "Free" wood is almost always wood at someone else's location which I need to cut down, cut up, load, haul, dump, split, and stack. I watch the costs and it usually runs between $50 and $75 per cord all said and done.
Not that it was asked, but I've got a homebrew logsplitter with a 4" diameter piston, 2500 psi pump,14 horse B&S powerplant and fits 24" logs. After I went in for back surgery a couple of years ago I had to do something to reduce the workload. I cut to 14" lengths and anything left over goes into the "ends pile" which I use when the heating season begins, probably in a couple of weeks, until maybe mid November. Looks like there's about a cord in the ends pile but I probably won't use it all before I get into the main shed.
I've come to realize I've gotten real serious about wood in just a few short years.
*Special case: I've been making a small amount of biodiesel and mixing it with the heating oil for a few years. This year I'm planning to upscale the biodiesel processing so I can go to 80% BD in the boilers. Hot water uses almost 200 gallons of oil a year and the increasing cost of oil is killing my budget.
