Ok, This should be fun. I would like to know how much wood you burn through in a year. Now to get this even close to work with all the variable lets have a few rules.
1. Must be a boiler.
2. Must be your only source of heat. So if you have a fire place or fossil boiler helping out once in awhile convert your number to if you never used them.
3. Does not matter what kind of wood you are using. Takes about the same effort to cut, split, stack, carry, and finally burn whether it is oak or maple or pine.
4. Must burn for a 6 month season. So you southerners make a monthly average and add to it. Those of you burning all year, eliminate the summer months.
5. Lets all work in the same unit of measurement. A CHORD. 4' X 4' X 8'.
Did I miss anything?
List your location, square footage heated, DHW (yes or no), and Chords of wood
I am still using that nasty OWB and can't wait untill next year to upgrade.
So here goes. Michigan, 2700sq.ft., DHW, 12 Chord
