Doesn't sound bad for 6600 sf.

With a warm December I only went through 9 cords this year.  I had a mix of mainly elm with some oak, cherry and boxelder - all pretty dry.

I heat a 1500 sq.ft. ranch (2 levels = 3000 sf) with vaulted ceilings at 68° and a 1200 sf attached garage usually at 55° plus DHW.
