I use 1-2 cords per year - I only use my wood stove (a fairly small pedestaled Country brand set diagonally in the corner of the living room. The ceilings are cathedral) in the winter and I do have days where, for one reason or another, I don't light the stove. I'm in a 1600 ft² double wide mobile home on 6 acres next to the North Cascades National Park which is in NW Washington state.
I'm searching for ways to make my wood stove heating more efficient so: 1) I don't have to wake up every 2-3 hrs to add wood, 2) it doesn't take 3-4 hrs for the fire to be hot enough to make any difference, 3) it doesn't take until early evening for the house to be warm!
