Are you talking full cords or face cords? I have only been burning since the first of November since we had a mild fall, but I started with about 4 face cords of pine (18") and have used about another 4 face cords of hardwood or about 3 full cords in total. The pine burns very quickly so is not too representative.

Haven’t really kept track, been dropping and topping ash trees.

I’d say more than last year, other than a day of -13 in the morning has been somewhat a mild fall/early winter.

Started 10/22 in New Hampshire. I am at a little of 2.5 cords at this point. If we hadn't had the week of - degree windy nights and days in the teens I would have made it to 1/22 on three cords I think.

I started around mid October and am around 2 cords so far.  If this turns out to be an average winter than I should have another
4 1/2 cords to go and finish up around mid to late April.  (Central Ontario)

12 bush cord has been enough for both houses for the past ten years. This winter my tenant is feeding the stove plus we are heating water for both houses. Burnt close to 14 cord so far....minus 30C last night

Shut my stove down yesterday.  Early I know but I have to travel for work and the wife won't do it.  Got almost 5 cords through, maybe a half cord left in the wood shed yet.  I was planning on 10 cords this winter Nov 1st to April 1st but I didn't get to :(

Wow I'm jealous.  13 full cords and climbing here in michigan, plus a mild winter.  This old farm house 3500 sqft has no insulation  :(
