Wood fetish

[peasea]

Anyone with woodburner care to share how much wood they run through per month?
Just want to work out approximate cost and compare it to electric heaters.

(yes I know it is more efficient than electric heater so no need to elaborate on that here please. I'm interested in numbers)

Also, where is a good place in Auckland to buy wood these days? I know winter is almost over, but us yellow asians are used to live in a more tropical places, you see....

Just burn your fellow gooks, they're cheap as chips and you can get them anywhere in Auckland.

we usally go thru 2-3 meters a year,
shouldn't use that much but we burn
it like its going out fashion.Its free so why not?...

Just burn your...[blah]...Auckland.

I was disapproving and going to give you red rep for this, but on technicalities I have to approve on the second bit that they are everywhere in Auckland, so the red and green balances itself and thus no rep was given.

Besides, I don't normally take offense from a pseudo-biker on a 150 who likes to pottle around in the city and going to a gay bar for a chai latte on saturday when it's sunny.

Learn to read better next time. You might know English but you sure don't know how to understand the topics: how much wood to burn and where to get them. Not 'what to burn'.

my woodburner is going 24/7 at the mo .. its great get home from work 7.30pm at mo throw a couple bit of wood on feed the animals by the time I get back inside its roaring away again ..

There are quite few trees on the block I am living so firewood will not be lacking for a couple more yrs yet ....

how much have I used .. hmm dunno .. woodshed bout half used so far but find it much more economic having fire going non stop .. can have it permanently on low & doesn't need relighting .. when I clean it out move the hot embers to one side dig out the underlayers .. then do same for opp side .. then spread it all back out .. throw a couple of big bits of wood on again & presto fire away

good tip .. find a company that uses pallets .. they generally give away the older broken ones for nothing .. good firewood

We have nearly been through 3 metre my wife and 4 month old are at home so they have it on during the day. Normally 3 metre would last the whole winter but I would say about 5 metres this year.

I got about 2 - 3 metres of small stuff for free and then my kid brothers school was sell macra gum mix for 50 bucks a metre so I bought 3 from them so it cost me $150 and it lasts about 4 to 5 months
