From Dec 09,2010 -April 09,2011 I used a little over 6 cords. It averages about 1 and 1/3 cord per month for all of my heat and hot water during that time. It was a cold year here in Maine this year. House with garage = 3100 sq feet plus an 1100 sq foot basement and all hot water. That is my house in the profile photo.

Aspen 175 gasification wood boiler.

My neighbor has a central non gasification boiler and uses twice the wood I do for a house half the size.

Mid October to last night, I estimate I went through 7 full cords.  Ran out of dry wood yesterday afternoon and got to 9:00 before it was to be no more.  1800 sq ft old farm house with negative insulation, crappy windows and a thermostat that just will not go below 75. EVER.  I think my wife has something to do with that part.  I am quite pleased with mine in the first year.

Wood Doctor HE5000 gasifier - heat only this year.  Domestic hotwater and dryer next year for sure. I will also keep better track of useage then too.  I'm here for life - definitely worth the investment and time needed.  Hopefully I will lose the belly fat this year cutting wood, God knows I need to do that.

thats not bad for an old farm house with no insulation, as oil prices go up we all (OWB Owners) look smart.
