Today was a milestone for me as my BK went through its first cord of wood fodder.Now granted its been a milder winter than usual but I have burned since Sept.At this rate 3 cords would be stretching it for the winter even if we get slammed with cold temps,not worrying though as I'm 3 years ahead of the game as far as wood goes.Comparing my other 4 woodstoves I've so far burned only half of what they would have and we've stayed plenty warm.
