Using a 5000e or c250, how much wood would a person figure to use with a moderate insulated 2500sqft home and dhw.

Heatmaster has good shaker grates, most everyone doesn't burn coal only even though they advertise they can. Most just seem to pile on top. I have spent a lot of time on nepacrossroads.com learning how to burn coal, if I could afford hard coal I would burn it. But for $10 for a 50 pound sack around here i would just buy pro pain. The soft coal I burn is good stuff for bituminous, I get it directly from a mine so it's cheaper. I don't mind the stink of the smoke outside, can't smell it from inside the house, what' I do mind is the dirt dust stink and cold or too Hott from being inside. That's why I'm gettin a owb

Wow, I always thought i was getting a good deal. I always heated with a hotblast indoor stove and one semi load lasted me all winter with usually a pickup load or so left over. So for $500 a year to hear my house was pretty good. Now I'm going to get a heatmaster owb, and I hear they can use 7-10 cords a year. I plan on using some coal but I don't know how well it will work yet or how much I can mix or how much wood it'll save me. It's bituminous coal, that's all I've been using this year is coal only, got 5 ton for $325 and no cutting or spilting. I'm having good luck with it although cleaning the soot and controlling the dust and smell inside sucks. I'm sure it'll be better outside then inside.

I can get semi loads of good logs 95% red oak, then some hickory an white oak, delivered free for $32 a ton. I have got 14-15 ton before and ends up costing around $500 give or take $40. Can anyone give me a guess of how many cords 15 ton of green oak is? Just trying to figure a rough guess of how many cords of wood I'm getting from a semi load
