Back in September my wife and I bought a home heated with propane. Back in November we filled our propane tank (500 gallon) to the max fill of 80% (400 gallons). Cost a little over $850 bucks. Yesterday I checked my tank and it's down to 35% (175 gallons). At 20% we will need to refill.
The house has a secondary heating furnace. It's wood fired. It's not currently in service. Next summer I think I need to service and put into use next winter. I've never used a wood furnace/stove. What should I be aware of?
Obviously I need to buy a proper mix of woods to get my money's worth. Locally it looks like I am going to pay around $83/facecord delivered to my property.
I think I'll need 8-9 facecord. How do I estimate how much to purchase?
Who uses wood fired heating and can offer some experiences?
