Hello all!
My husband & I just moved to our property in central Montana and are eagerly anticipating our first winter. We hope to do most if not all of our heating with our new woodstove. (hubby is a lot more optimistic than I about being able to heat with only wood...latent lumberjack tendencies...he loves chopping and splitting wood). I know there are many variables but I was wondering how much wood most folks go through in a winter. We have a well insulated single wide mobile home and will be burning pine in our Century woodstove. (I know, not the best wood but it's what we have on our property) Free heat is good heat.
He's out chopping as we speak and has about a cord cut and stacked from dead trees that he's hauled back from various corners of the property. Being new at this we have absolutely no clue as to how much we might need. Any input would be most helpful! Thanks and have a great day!
