4-ish cords here annually.
Mixed hardwood[oak, hickory, locust, cherry].
Maybe 50gl of propane along withe above.
2 Heat pumps sit idle in winter.
Heating 2500sqft plus another 1500sqft[basement where stove is].
No fire pits......

We have used an Amish "School House Size" Wood Circulator for the last 25 years. It is 28" Wide X 36" Tall Minus the Shaker Grate and Ash Pan, and 17" Deep. Never really tracked the wood usage real close. I would say normally 5 Cord of Hard Wood, Mainly Oak. With both of us retired and home most of the time we may be using a little more than 5 Cord these days. This Winter we have been burning Six Oak trees blown over last Winter, with a Cherry thrown in. About half White Oak and Half Red. I cut and split almost all of it myself. We have a Gasoline Wood Splitter. Through the Blue Cold Weather we just had, with temperatures going below zero. The front room thermometer stayed between 70 and 72. The bedroom on the far end of the house was 68 - 70. Normally we shut the stove down at night, this last week and a half we ran it 24/7 without shutting it down. It has warmed up slightly above freezing this morning, and the front room thermometer is on 76. I am not sure of the square feet of the house. My guess would be around 2500 sf.
I would really hate to keep the house as warm as we do burning Gas or with Electric Heat.

Bob R Don't leave a chicken on the counter, hot enough around there to bake it without using the oven.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
