Yesterday I got a bit done on the woodpile. I want 40 banana boxes in my shed and 20 in the house by winter. I don't use the wood stove all winter. Spring and fall plus if the temperatures drop to around 0⁰. The rest of the time I prefer the wood furnace. Load it at 9PM and again at 9AM. And not much splitting. Everything 12 inch diameter or smaller just gets pitched in.
