How Much Firewood Will I Need For A Typical Winter?

A tricky question to answer as it will depend on so many factors:

• The efficiency of your stove
• The size of your property
• How well insulated your property is.
• How often the stove is used
• What the outside temperature is 
• How you use your stove – burning on full airflow all the time or on low heat.

However, this is a common question we get asked, so here’s some guidance to give you some idea. Assuming you use the most efficient fuel – kiln dried- in an average year, you will likely use 3-4 cubic metres of firewood. Remember that you will use significantly more wood if it is not dry because it provides far less heat energy  – up to twice as much.
