General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Wood usage
« on: June 16, 2008, 03:32:22 AM »
Hi all,
Some of you will recognise this question from elsewhere but...
For those of you who have used oil in the past and have swapped to an OWB, how much wood do you use compare to heating oil? In other words, if you were using say 500 gallons of heating oil before, how may full cords are you using now as a replacement (also what OWB are you using). I know they eat through the wood, but just how much?
There are loads of 'equations' out there that will 'help' you work out how much wood equals how much oil etc, but this is theoretical BTUs and not real life experience which we all know is a completely different thing.
By the way, I'm not putting any numbers here as I'm yet to get an OWB, this is all in the name of ressearch for me and informing others.
