Its only my second year burning. Last year, I was only able to burn on weekends and a few nights during the week here and there due to my schedule. I used roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of a cord so that isnt going to help me judge this year too well.
I have 2 1/2 to 3 cords of well seasoned Cherry, Ash and Black Locust. We have had very mild weather lately and its just now getting into the burning season. I plan on burning almost every day if I can help it and then tossing some bigger splits in throughout the night. Im not going to be 24/7 so I will have to relight everyday when I get home from work. My house is roughly 1500 sq ft. 2 story brick cape cod, not very well insulated. (working on that part)
I know it is impossible to tell exactly how much im going to use but im just trying to get a rough idea from you seasoned experts so I can plan for next year. For those not familiar with this area, it is burning season here through late march-early april depending.
I have another cord C/S/S waiting for next year, much of that was standing dead cherry so I could probably tap into that late into the burning season if completely necessary but id rather not.
If I had to take a stab at it id say im going to be about 1 to 1 1/2 cords short...
Let me know what you guys think.
