Did you burn...................or have you burned, in case you're still burning to heat your home this Winter/Spring???

 

For me, I'm probably just under 3 full cords of wood.  I was burning much higher BTU rated wood this Winter vs. last Winter, and that made a HUGE difference in my wood consumption when compared to last year.  My "ranch style" house is not very good at being a good candidate for a wood stove.....................but I make it work.

In previous winters in Connecticut, we would burn 5-7 cord. We would keep that thing burning 24/7, that also included using the fireplace on the weekends for the ambiance. Lot of maple, oaks and cherry. This winter I lived in Ohio with no wood stove... :(

As of right now I'm at 7 cords of wood consumed. Still burning wood every day yet. Start burning typically in October and burn till almost June usually.

 

No backup furnace or automatic heat... All heat is from firewood. I'm not like most that set a thermostat and walk away during the day and then build a fire at night when they get home. So the electric furnace or propane furnace is going mos of the day and then burning only a small 2-3 cords a season.

Mike just about roasted me out every time I'd go in for coffee :) . Even the coffee stayed hot. he he, but the folks around there are even warmer still.

 

 I'll never forget Betty your mail carrier... she's cool person, lots of courage with a great story

I've heard a rumor that Mike parades around the house in his speedo.

 

 

All fun n games...until you see "it".

 

I cut wood for my grandparents who insist on keeping their home a constant 80*+. My grandfather walks around in his baggy briefs, its a crap shoot whether or not a free peep show is included.

 

I estimate about 3 cords, but they also have a coal stove to supplement with.
