15 cord a year for myself.i also have 30 cord in log form, that's how i haul it in my dump trailer. Sure love cutting wood !!!

I feel bad for you folks back East. Been real mild here up until now. Little below 0 now, We have only burned 2 cord so far. My father taught us as kids "You can never have enough wood" and I have stuck to it. I'v got 16 cord left in the stack. Ya I know may get rotten before I get it burned but when you retire you can't fish every day so wood cutting we go

I brought in wood from the shed for the first time last weekend. Winter has been very mild so I was still cutting it out of the pile. What I take out I have to replace in the spring so I cut as long as I can. Winter has now arrived -2 this morning and blizzard conditions forecast for the weekend. Well I knew it wouldn't last all year.

Wood supply is ok, but have plenty to make yet. Always been a procrastinator when it comes to
Wood for some reason. this year I hope to get ahead so I'm not burning anything under a year seasoned.
Oak that's not completely dry( 2+ years) creates a lot of creasote in my wood stove.

Osky what size fisher do you have? I have a mamma bear and it heats house about perfect.

What are you fellas using for trailers? I really don't have space for a trailer so I cut my wood close and just fill up my truck what feels like a million times.

I log and sell firewood - so I never have enough!! Luckily, i can bring home standing dead oak and elm to make it thru.

I'm running low but my son's cache is really healthy and well stacked I might add, since he used my log splitter- you know how this story ends lol.

Not quite to the halfway point,got about fifteen cords for the house and three for the shop .But I'm ready for spring anytime!!!

I just tapped into by 5th cord. I heat my house with wood and have an Old Timer free standing in the family room. Many times we have to open a couple of windows to cool things down. I still have 15 cords of white and red oak waiting it's turn at OT. I just sold the last cord of dry elm and ash the other day so I have some minnow money that needs spending.

Hi NE I have a papa bear. I have about a thousand square feet. I am off the grid so when gone for a few days especially at sub zero temps the place is cold thru and thru. On arriving I load the stove and fire up my generating plant for power to run a fan near the stove. 4-6 hours and the place is up to temp.

Once warm a 2’ by 10 inch log will burn all night with the stove dampered right and keep temp just fine. This is to 10 below or so, lower than that I may have to let it burn hotter and add a log later. I only run the fan to circulate heat until the place is warm then it’s done, generator off.

I built my cabin in 2009. 24'x36' with a full length 6' porch overlooking the creek. One BR, one B, combination LR and K. Built it that way so none of my 3 daughters and their families could move in with me! Hardy Board siding, house wrap, 6" studs, 1" of closed cell foam sprayed inside to seal it up, 6" fiberglass insulation, 2 layers of fiberglass insulation in the ceiling , tongue an groove pine walls and vaulted ceilings inside. I have a Ashley circulator heater in the end of the living room. My wood shed holds 6 cords and I have never used over two cords any winter since the cabin was built. Two 16" sticks of wood in the heater at 10PM with the thermostat closed down. It got down to 18 last night with about 10mph winds. 73 degrees in here this morning at 6 am. Oh, we sleep with our bedroom window cracked about 3" every night and a living room window about 2" so the heater will draw. I'm very happy with that!

Mines getting low, gonna have to order another 150gal. here soon.

My wood pile is good for the next few years. I have about 8 cord of dry hedge (osage orange) left at the house and another 13 of fresh cut in the pasture split and stacked. I expect to double the fresh pile before I quit cutting this spring. I also block up all of the other woods (hackberry, locust, walnut ect) for an older family, there wood shed is overfull as well. I keep the hedge as it keeps for ever without a shed. We found some I had cut 26 years ago wile clearing pasture this fall, it burns just as good as the two year old wood. I sure like hedge wood as it burns long and hot, but I hate the trees. They are a pain the posterior to keep under control. They would be great if they stayed in a wood lot, but the darn things will take over a pasture in a short time.

Zim your right about havin half your wood left February 1st,and what Supercub said about you never havin enough wood is fact.i have enough wood in to last until may and if we have a late spring again I have more in a pile. we are blessed with abundant fire wood source in these parts,good hardwood the beach tree die off is tremendous and trees are falling all though our forest. makes for some great firewood if you get it before it starts to punky. they are selling a armful of wood to the tourist here for $5to$8 in the summer a lot hustling goin on. keep your fire goin,and take care.
