Wow! You are out in the wilderness! What state are you in?
*sigh* Upstate NY looks a lot like Vermont. It's very pretty here, but I do get homesick for the trees and rolling hills back home - and more snow.
It's a beautiful part of the country!
I have a roaring fire going in my wood burning fireplace tonight
I love a fire!
However a fire consumes a lot of wood
Wow, beautiful picture, rolling hills
LOL!

that's prety impressive but you need to run ducting to all the rooms of your house?
My friends who heat with wood have a ranch
How many cords of wood would a 1600sq ft house use in a typical winter?
My parents have a regular furnace, too, but Mom gets after Dad because he runs that wood furnace plus the fireplace and she thinks they're going to die of heat exhaustion.
I don't blame her, I was back one day and WOW.
I can`t speak for a newer insulated one but that thing in the picture will take 12-15 cord/year.
I'm not good with square footage and all. I bet there are on-line calculators! Seems like Dad buys maybe two cords a year? Maybe two pickup truck loads a year. But I dunno exactly how big the house is. It's a two-story, four bedroom place.
I do know they use a LOT less wood and get more heat with the Quadra Fire. That thing is just amazing...it burns wood almost to nothing, and gets a ton of heat from even small amounts. It's fascinating to me. ;-)
Oh, a wood fire kicks out a lot of heat!
I guess actual furnaces probably work better than stoves for folks who aren't home as much, though. For us, there was always someone around to feed the fire or start a new one before the place got really cold.
And I dunno nuffin 'bout furnaces.
But its big, over 500 acres!
And I go, with my dog, every day
