I hope to use wood to suppliment the heating of my home. I have a VC Defiant stove and hopefully will have my chimney relinned before next heating season. I have not heated with wood before other than burning it in my fireplace. I don't think I will burn 24/7 as I work and my wife will probably not operate the stove. How much wood do I need to get through an Ohio winter? I have c/s/s 12 cords this winter. About a third of what I have is a mixture of Black and White oak. The rest is black and honey locust with a small amount of ash and red maple. Most of the oak was standing dead so I am hopeful some of it will be dry enough to burn soon. I had thought about cutting some poplar or virginia pine to make sure I had some dry wood next winter. How many cords is enough? Your thoughts?
