I’m an hour south of you deerstalker. We burn ~ 4 cords for our ~2100 sqft place. This warm spell is saving me wood. We switch to the heat pump when it is warm otherwise the wood stove will run us out. I like to have the wood put up by July 4 because I hate having to split and stack during hunting season or the heat of late summer. My kids don’t love it... they say “all you think about is firewood”.

If you don’t have a Fiskars x27 splitting axe you need one! One of these days we’ll spring for a hydraulic splitter.
