How much wood do you use at home

[avio]

Probably get through about 6 m3 this year lighting the woodburner (8KW) late afternoon until early morning. Keeps the whole house reasonable with the gas central heating only going on an hour and 1/2 in the morning and 3/4 at bedtime. Not in the trade so buy it in green and uncut or from trees I've cut down for friends and relatives.

HI MATE that a lot of wood that our large euro heat does 14 40lt tubs per week running 24/7 thanks jon

 

Hi Jon,

 

All my wood is free arb waste. I am looking at a log boiler to load once a day at peak during the winter when I renovate the house to 7500sqft.

 

Forgive me, tubs of woodchip/pellets or what?

Thats pretty impressive given that I use the same amount of wood in an 8 KW Jotul no 3.Its burning for around 180 days per year and only heats one room, what size thermal heat store have you got in your system?

Thanks

Rayburn multifuel running 4 rads and all cooking with lashings of hot water in 3 bed semi. Never goes out. Gets through about 2 cube per month of seasoned softwood and other carp which can't be sold to customers. One of those recycling containers, approx 500mm x 330mm x 330mm per day.

20-25 cube/year for rayburn and logburner doing all cooking, hot water and central heating (10 rads) in a 4 bed semi

Between half and 1 bag a day, but only light it in the evening when we're in or other half may light it during day if she's in, plus use a bag of coal a month burning in a hunter 4, open plan downstairs so lets plenty of heat upstairs, got a door curtain on the front room where it is which we close if its really cold but if do close it then rest of house is freezing

About 8m3 a year, got two burners and two fire hogging dogs!
