I have burned for 2 seasons now, and this year is the first time my pile is "ahead"
like most first year burners i had no wood and just a stove so i cut standing dead trees all winter to burn. the next season i got ahead but not enough as i was training for a ironman triathlon and had little time to devote to cutting wood.
i am kicking myself i did not document how much wood i use per winter in my enviro venice q1700 insert, as i would like to gauge approximate how much i need to be "ready" for a average winter.
what does hearth.com say, will i have enough for this winter? or should i be frenetically cutting/splitting more before the snow flies?
i plan on getting all of next years and then some cut by spring, as i much prefer cutting in the winter when there is snow.
edited to add:
the far left of the photo is a small first row, and there has a second row behind it(which is the row extending all the way across in the photo) so the pile does have a optical illusion as to how many rows/big it is.

house is 3000 sq ft.
very well insulated, and i close off two unused bedrooms so that removes a good bit of square footage.
we keep the stove running 24/7 in winter.
