This is my first year getting lucky with free BTUs. I still have not run my little nc13 24/7 yet but was planning to next year. If i really push my little stove 90% of the time how much will she eat say in 4 months? I know there are many variables but lets say half pine and half wht/red oak good and seasoned maybe 25% and under on the MM. I have been hand splitting with a 8lb maul and taking all I can get for the most part. Here are my stacks to date. On the left under the over hang is pine(for the start of 2012 to give the oak more time) about 2 cords. The stack/cube in the back is also mostly pine ?cords. Other stack/cube is oak ?cords. I still have much more oak to split like 2-3 more cubes like the one in front I have not measured . I just have no clue how much i need but i do know i want all i can get. I am going to try not to use the oak till the year after.
