Good points, begreen. And I’m not “looking down” on anyone for using only 3 cords per year, I was only questioning their use of the term “full-time”. Like your case of letting the stove go cold and letting the heat pump running on less-cold days, or houses with a lot of solar gain, individual conditions will vary. This may result in some people not really keeping their stove going thru the entire heating season.
The numbers I gave above would suggest the majority of people burning only 3 cords per year are not actually keeping their stove going full-time, and telling new burners you can run a stove 24/7 for an entire heating season on that amount of wood is enormously misleading and not helpful to them, if that is their goal or requirement.
