mike mason trapper M Joined: Apr 2012 new york	Originally Posted by RegularJoe I have a renovated farm house, heated solely with wood, inside furnace forced air system. I burn 5 full cords on an average winter. I am heating roughly 2,000 sq. feet. Outdoor boilers burn more wood in my anecdotal experience. My engineering opinion is the heat loss is far greater, snow doesn't accumulate on an outside boiler.... I would use natural gas but alas, all my neighbors got wells the last time thru, not me, so I bought a new chainsaw not a new furnace. I am cutting next year's wood already. My furnace is a Charmaster Brand, built in Minnesota. How do you like the Charmaster? I get all my wood from TSI work, logging and tree work. Basically, free except for labor and people pay me to take wood away from tree jobs. My wife calls me crazy, but I enjoy cutting/splitting firewood. Poor man's golf!

Law Dog trapper Joined: Dec 2010 Central, SD	I never did the cord count thing I just move over what I need when I needed it. I try to stay a year ahead in the pile but have dry stuff I can split in a pinch most rounds fit through the door that a guy would want to lift. The huge stuff I’m slow getting to but that works out when I can get to it it adds up quickly. Lots of sources of wood here with a lot of dead ash and elm tree belts in decline. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst
