Firewood consumption

[Straight Shooter]

Yes LS .......extreme even.... but that quantity was over a full years use...wife was ill , so had to have it on all the time...having said that, since that time i have removed three sets of French doors ...bricked up and replaced them with Pvc u windows...plus changed six other windows, along with more insulation in the attic space and partition work with more insulation....what a difference ! that lot has made....unbelievable ....this will kill you though....we are now running on LPG gas ...to check the running costs and do the comparisons set against the wood burner...then i will revert back to wood ....when i build the new place ( money ) i will put in a rayburn (converted to oil fired ) which are more efficient ...but easy to convert back to multi fuel should the need arise ...doing the sums four cords of wood should well cover our needs...the new place will be WELL AND TRULY INSULATED .
