i was just wondering how much wood will i burn in a given winter. i live in northern ohio, use electric baseboard heat but want to supplement that with a wood stove. how much do you all use per season?
thanks for your replies. i cut about 3 cords of ash wood last year. was thinking that would be plenty, maybe not. cut another 2 cords c/s/s this year( not seasoned yet).

Hey George- I live in Southern Maine. I bought a 2 family and converted it to a single. There was an extra chimney flue in the basement. I bought a used Fisher Papa Bear with the thoughts of emergency/suplemental heat. The thing works so well that now I heat the main part of my home all winter long with just that. Keeps the house at around 67-70, which the wife loves. I have cut my heating bill drastically. Very happy all around. For about a 2400 sq/ft home, I go through 5-6 cords in a season. But here in Maine the season is proabable about a month longer than OH. Figure if you are running the stove all day/all night, you will go through about a cord a month. I would just get a couple of cord and see how well it works and how much you like stacking and keeping the stove fed all winter. If you dont like that, you will drive yourself nuts. Goodluck!i was just wondering how much wood will i burn in a given winter. i live in northern ohio, use electric baseboard heat but want to supplement that with a wood stove. how much do you all use per season?
