I've burned a little more than that (maybe), but not much more. Still can't tell if it's the weather or the fact that the Vig only has three fires through it.
 
About 0.14 cords consisting of Silver Maple, White Birch and two loads of Cherry!

All seasoned a little over 3 1/2 years :cheese:
 
about 3 of these...

About 1/3 a cord, maybe a bit more. What I'm burning now is a mix of birch, cottonwood and spruce. Have about 1/2 cord of that. The rest of wood I have is all birch.


I burned 3 cords total last year with about 7 months of burning, probably 6 months 24/7 burning.
 
About a 1/3 of a cord of shorts, splitter uglies and shoulder wood. Colder weather is supposed to settle in here starting tomorrow.
 
Zero due to my T5 insert won't be installed until Monday. I have 2 fc of ash ready to burn.

Stoked in Michigan..
 
So far, just a little less than 1/2 cord of uglies, and what my Wife calls "Funky Chunks"....the weather has been mild so far....heck, last year we started in September and never stopped...so far this year, we've had probably about a dozen of so days of burning.
 
practically zilch so far. I think I cleaned out the ashes once. feels like we are much warmer and off to a slow start over here. Last year felt like cold temps came in nov and stayed a long time.
 
We've burned a little under a 1/2 cord of Slabwood since the beginning of October in our furnace. Don't need as many btus with the upgraded attic insulation.
 
Too much. My old stove is cranking through this junk slab wood like you wouldn't believe. But hey, it makes heat.
 
About a wheelbarrel full of soft maple, poplar, pine mix.
 
between 1/3 and 1/2 cord of chunks,punks, uglies, and some super dry, super fast burning pine.
 
According to my calculations I've burned .4 cord so far, about average for me. Mostly burning uglies and some half punky Oak.
 
about 1/3 cord of silver maple mixed with elm so far. The new/used FA288 seems to heat the house far better than the defiant/encore, the blower really helps circulate the heat!
 
I have no idea, I'd guess less than a 1/4 cord of chunks.

Boy this sounds unbelievable, my mind says, can't be. How many sq.ft are you heating...
 
I am almost through my first stack on 10'x5'. Close to about a half cord. Furnance has not been on once, and couldn't be happier.
