so how much wood have you used so far

About 2 cords so far. Burning evenings, weekends and when I'm on vacation. More than last year for sure.

Way too much!

With our cold snap we had, I was flying through the firewood.

About a cord and a half. I usually only burn 3 to three and a half a year. Getting worried I'll run out and be forced to burn the 25 percent MC maple I have on deck for next year

Blueflash, Southeastern Ontario has been a lot colder than that! Are you Southwest?

Since 12/10, we have had three days, maybe, that have had a high above freezing, have been as low as -19 degrees F. Have had long stretches with the high way below freezing. Has been common to have highs of 1 - 8 degree F. Has been a very cold Autumn/very early Winter. We also have had hardly any sun.

Gray today, 36 F,rain tonight, rain tomorrow afternoon, (our two warm days of the month!) then back down to way below freezing for the coming week.

If Jn and Feb are colder than Dec, I'm not looking forward to them, or to my wood usage.

Still way short of a cord here and there is still plenty of wood in the barn. We've had a colder than normal December for sure but the real heating season begins this coming week.

3.5 cords since late October. Would be more, but we decided earlier this month to just burn one stove during the work week, until I get my wood quality issues ironed out.

Holy crap I am in Pottstown and I am at 1 cord heating a 2400 sqft house 24x7.

A little over a cord using only wood heat. I'm sure it'd be much less if I had a newer stove!

I've gone through about 2 cords since mid October. I'm heating 2100 sq feet. Been a lot colder this winter so far than last here in east ohio.

We have used about a cord.

Any one here from WV? You guys are making me feel great about what iv burned so far and I thought I was doing bad iv only used about half a cord and wood is my only heat source.

I've gone through a little over a cord of extremely dry ash so far. Unfortunately I dropped the ball this past winter and didn't get any wood prepared, so I am buying it this season. Not ideal, but interesting meeting new folks who think they have seasoned wood.
Certainly fixing the problem for next year, as I have about 8 cords of red elm and maple for next season.

It's not got to terrible cold but we've been in the teens and twentys a lot. Iv used some Eco bricks and enviro logs to. I only have a cord that I bought I'm cutting for next year but I'll buy as I need I gusse for now.

I've burned probably 1 cord and 1/4? My stacks are never easy to tell how much equivalent to a cord they are so I need to guess. I start mid Oct and burn full time until it's too warm, usually sometime in April. I just brought in the last of what I wanted to last until the 1st of the new year into the basement and it looks like I'll be right on target which is good. If we have an eary spring I could have 1/3 cord left over which I would be thrilled about but we'll see how it goes. We've had some really frigid temps this year so far so I'm surprised I'm not further along but there must been a few warmer times too I'm not remembering because I'm on target so I'll take it!

We are in cord 3 now. Been getting really bad winds that have made it hard to keep the house warm. It also doesn't help that my nice dry wood got soaked pretty good when my tarp was ripped off in a storm. I checked the stack yesterday, a little bit of buildup near the top, but it's been better this year than at any point in the least 3.

Approx 1 cord here. I am heating around 1800 sq ft. The temperatures have been kind of mild here with lows in the upper teens at the least. We have had some days in the 50-60s here this month.

ABout 1 cord so far. Good thing I held off in November: I only have 3 cord for the winter (I supplement electric heating with wood) but with the 2 week cold snap earlier this month and now they are forecasting -28C a couple of night this week, it's gonna be chilllllly.

Hey, Swedishchef, where are you in Québec?

I also wish I had held off in October and November. This week has been durn cold!

With two stoves running, I've gone through about 2.5 cords since October.

About 1-1.25 cord. Been burning since Oct. 20th. Only source of heat thus far.

Been burning since the end of october and have burned over 2 cords in a 1500 sq ft house w/ unfinished basement. Seems like a lot so far. Ive got a new NC30 and still not sure Im burning right.

It has not been very cold here on Long Island until now. We are in the middle of a nasty noreaster. Temps falling like a rock and lots of wind. I have used about half a cord of hardwood and a quarter ton of Envi 8's in my VC Montpelier insert. Home is 2500 sq ft with new windows and well insulated and the insert does the job with the assistance of a ceiling fan and a strategically placed Makita battery operated fan.

1.75+/- cords here 2100sq ft been pretty cold winter so far. Only ran the boiler for maybe an hour or two max?

1.5 cords of alder/birch/fir mix, running almost 24/7 since October 15th. Also burned 25 bags of pellets. Heating 2300sq/ft 1970's build, with updated windows and some extra insulation. We also had a wicked cold spell back in early December which really put a dent in the wood pile!

Started burning early October. Burned through about 2.5 cords running almost 24/7 (takes about 3 loads a day). Does ok job heating 2000sq feet in this -20 wind chill weather tonight (actual -5 degrees tonight). I prefer temperatures outside to be 15-20 degrees or higher. This zero and below stuff is total crap
