Ten cord of pine in a winter must mean you have things buttoned up and insulated pretty well.<p>I grew up in Maine, and it&#x27;s pretty common to go through 8-12 cord of rock maple, beech and ash in a winter.  A lot more BTUs in that than pine, but a lot of houses are drafty old farmhouses...  We only used pine in the fall and spring when we needed a quick fire to drive out the cold in the morning and heat up the hot water.
