Thanks so much for the great info on this site! You folks sure love your wood stoves! Glad to be a member here, this is my first post.
I'm sure this topic has been discussed here before. I apologize if it's redundant, but I am really curious.
I've got a two story 2100 sq ft home, early 1900's, new windows, not too drafty for an old home. Just bought our first indoor woodstove, a VC CAT Defiant. We have an aging outdoor boiler for severe weather if we need to supplement the Defiant. I'm hoping we can get by most of the winter without it.
My question is: with dry, seasoned wood, how many cords will we burn if we run this stove Oct-May?
