I load up my porch with about a cord of wood at a time, the racks are 12' x 4' and the other is 5'x5', this setup will generally hold me about 20 - 25 days during our extreme "Polar Vortex" hide from everything winter we are having

Ahhh I see. You folks up there in the frozen northeast have taken a beating this winter. Here in Northern Kentucky we've had the worst winter in 25 or so years, but nothing like the stuff you folks have. Even with this winter I'll burn less than 4 cord and that heating 100% with wood.
I am also a 100% wood heater, this is a good test year for me, all in all I think I'm going to be about 6 cord this winter, hopefully we defrost at the end of March, The nice thing now, is even know that it is cold, when your in the sun you definitely feel the rays getting stronger, good luck with the rest of the season

Welcome to the forum Kenny.
Nice stacks on the porch and it sounds like you don't have to refill very often. But 6 cord is a lot of wood! Hopefully as you go you will have drier wood and won't have to burn that much. We used to burn an old Ashley stove and did burn 6 cord or more but when we updated to the Woodstock Fireview we now burn only around 3 cord per winter.
