I have been burning since I was a kid and never remember, you should have half your wood left as of what day? I thought it was Jan 15?

free73degrees said:However, I find that this is a little bit off because there are more hours of sunlight in the half of the winter after Jan15 than before (midway point for hours of daylight is Dec.22). That extra sunlight makes a bit of a difference because it heats your house so you use less wood.

There we are. I just loaded the last handful of my first quarter into the woodstove. I like to have the month's worth sitting outside the door, but when this thread came along I still hadn't put december's wood under the overhang, so when i moved the wood I put the rest of one row there (leaving 3/4 of the total supply still stacked in it's original spot)Danno77 said:Cool chart. I am right on target, then. I have almost gone through 1/4 of my wood. It was a slow start, but this cold snap is making up for it.
I'll be able to sleep tonight. I was afraid you were almost out.Backwoods Savage said:Danno, we don't worry. We have lots.
