ok I have a few questions.......
1st question:
How do I figure out how many btu's I am burning in a 24 hour period? some info to help calculation...I do not have storage and I burn 11 full cords (4x4x8) of hard wood per year to heat my 3000 square ft home using baseboard rads and 1300 square ft garage using a modine heat exchanger.
2nd question:
If I add 1000 gallons of storage how much wood will I conserve or add to my annual burning. Will I save cord wood?
My calculations have determined that I burn 150,000 btu's per day as an average using 11 cord therefore with storage assuming a 30degree top to bottom swing in usable temp swing I will have an additional 275,000 btu's I can use, therefore I should cut my wood consumption in half. Are my calculations and thought process right or wrong? can someone guide me?
Thanks for your help in advance
