What amazed me was the consistency no matter where you are located. Wood burners are roughly the same percent from east coast to west, north to south.I didn't realize that us wood burners where such a minority in the heating world. Don't get me wrong tho, I'm proud to be a part of this group!! Pat
love it! seeing as how my wood is free, my gas is free, even the oil in my tank is free

I find the forecasts to be pretty much useless, however the historical data is informative and would be otherwise unavailable.Did their weather extremity Winter forecast come from the same agency that issued the dire "extremely active " forecast for the current hurricane season ?

With home heating by #2 so common in New England ( and not very common in the rest of the states) I wouldn't be surprised to find that 20% number has grown since 2009.
Mix in pellet stoves and home heating oil homes in New England.
don't worry though, they know the poles will melt and the coasts will be flooded, trust them...Did their weather extremity Winter forecast come from the same agency that issued the dire "extremely active " forecast for the current hurricane season ?

I'd be curious to know how many people heat exclusively with wood, vs. just supplementing. Those of us who heat exclusively with wood are in even more of a minority!
I burn about 3 cords per season which offsets our heating with oil.
Our fireplace insert kills 2 out of 4 zones heated by oil (1 of the other 2 is the basement so that's minimal). So wood does a lot but doesn't quite throw sufficient heat through our ranch layout. Maybe if we had a colonial.
How do most wood-only heaters do it? Wood stoves?
We have been all wood heat for twenty years or so. But that more expensive prediction ain't gonna happen this year. Oil and gas are gonna be cheaper this winter than they have been in several years.
