Replacing the less tight VC Vigilant with the Hearthstone and a relatively mild winter here in NH left us burning only 3 cords. Last winter I burned almost 6 cords!
Only used 1/4 of a tank of oil too! I would say the average temp in the house was 72.
The Vigilant was here when we purchased this home and even though it was older and inefficient I am pretty sure it was too big for this house, about 1500sf. The Hearthstone's firebox is much smaller too.
I have 4 cords left for next winter and getting a log length load delivered this week to prepare for the winters of 2011,2012 and 2013!
Good to get ahead!
