My stove using about 3i/2 cords of wood per season. Keeps the downstairs warm and the bathrooms good and warm. I use mattress pad heaters in the bedrooms. A joy!

I have one floor in my home that is out of wood stove range and a living space over my 3 car garage that I heat with oil along with all the hot h20..That takes about 3K.

I have been burning wood for about 20 years in the same house. My large burner in the basement is connected to the oil burners cold air return . The wood heat rises naturally and comes up through the cold air return vents. Warms the house in about 20 minutes. This is the first year I have been stopping and picking up dead wood along the country roads in the woods. I got a cord this year so far mostly walnut nice and seasoned. I cut about 25 wood pallets and they burn great for the Autumn season. Just have to clean the nails out of the wood burner.
