Yesterday was just one of those days..............it wasn't just "get the groceries" days, but I also had to re-stock the wine rack; a duty that has to be done about once every 4 months after the last bottle of wine has been pulled down for a special dinner from the rack.
While pushing my cart thru the store, I ran into a co-worker who stated that he had had a rough burning season, and had burned two cords of wood already.
First off, I didn't know that this fella (whom I've known for a few years) even HAD a wood stove (we're not THAT close).
I told him that my total consumption since October 1st was about a cord.
Made me wonder though.........I know we are not truly "24/7" in our burning, and we were gone on vacation for two weeks in January, but I think we burn fairly regularly.
I wondered what kind of stove he was using; where it was located in the house; how many stoves does he have; is/are the stove(s) the newer EPA-Rated kind.
Two cords (assuming he also started burning on October 1st) seems like an awful lot! Could be soft wood he's burning; he could be burning more than I, ...........who knows.
In any case, I felt for him...........he was concerned about running out of wood. (Of course I'll offer him some of mine if he wants).
How much wood have MOST of you consumed, thus far?????
