I agree. My problem this winter was it was below zero more days than normal. I used about a cord more this year than last.
So having the supply of dry spruce was needed, maybe not next year, but as long as it don't rot, I like having some extra.
I dont think I can get closer than +/- 1 cord of how much I'll use per year. So I go with the thinking, "You Never have too much wood" & the extra worked out well for 20-11/12 winter. I even have about 1 cord of spruce extra for next winter. (just hope I don't need it
)
Who knows, the lower 48 may get winter this coming season, having the extra wood you all saved from this past (non) winter may be needed, it will be seasoned well
