At what point should we be about 1/2 done with wood. I'd say January 15. That would mean heating would begin in Nov. and end in March.

We have a bicycle wheel wood cart, that I beefed up a bit. It will hold 3.5 cubic feet of 16 inch wood at my marks, which I estimate at about 350k BTUs. After 6 loads over 9 days, I am starting to predict how much wood we will be using with our new Solo40, looks like it will be between 2.8 and 3.1 cords at 8700 HHD. That is Spring and summer too.
Just a bit different from the old non-air tight SunRay which would be a tad more than 2 times that, with about 200 gals of propane backup! But the heating season is young an d I figure by Feb I should have a good set of data.

Old european saying with lots of variants. Candlemas day was renamed groundhog day here in the states.
