I'm coming up on 2 cords. Probably in the next week or so. Last year I burned 4 cords total.

3-4 cords so far in our 2400 sq ft house. I have about 2 cords outside and need to get more (there's a lot of winter left in Montana!)

We are having a warm, dry season so far. Just had our first snow and sub freezing temps. We usually start burning in Sept, our first fire was in November this year. We have burned only half a cord so far :jawdrop: . Hopefully this will let me get further ahead in the wood.

I'm at about two cords maybe a little more so far. We are supposed to have a warm streak coming soon. Hopefully we will get all of ths ice gone.

It's been well below normal with above normal snow Downeast. The woodpile is down 2+ cords---about where we should be towards the end of January.
Oh where oh where have you been AlGore

Less wood to lurk with when no one looks.

prolly 2-3 cords so far...hard to tell...my woodpile is sort of dynamic...the wife and kids do most of the splitting and stacking, so I can't always tell what has been replaced....

About four cords for the house and one cord to heat the shop. Used alot more than last winter so far.

I burned probably 3 1/2 cords so far. I agree with you all, Im going through it fast! Im headed up to my dads today to cut up and process some standing dead oak and locust. Perfect wood for this time of year, and should get me back up on the wood quantity. Im down to about a cord and a half of ash/mulberry/locust. Time to restock!

Time for some snow!

Near as I can tell, about 3½ cords. Really went through it for a while, until the weather moderated. Looks like another cold spell coming though.

 

[olyman]

about 1 1/2 cords so far---but this was mostly just junk wood---now well start on the good ash!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[JBinKC]

About 1 3/4 cords so far which is at a rate above last year at this time

Maybe a full cord.

I cant say enough about a well insulated home. My home is 1 1/2 yrs old now(1300 sqft main level + walkout basement) so its my second winter burning. And I'm totally amazed at my low wood consumption. I attribute this to a well insulated home. I'm burning a wood furnace, which in my opinion isnt all that efficient, it likes its wood. The wife started complaining it's too hot in the house during the night, I usually fire up good at night. So now I let the wood furnace go out by 11pm. The house is usually around 80. Buy morning its still in the low 70's. So I wont light another fire until the next afternoon around 4pm. The home holds the heat that long. The first night I tried this the temp was around 12 degrees and dropped to around 5 degrees by morning. I will admit the unfinished basement does cool down to around 64, but thats expected with a cement floor. If I were only heating the main level with a wood stove I know I could do even better. But I'm not complaining.
