I live in Lassen County California. WA and CA have higher EPA standards than
the rest of the country. We have snow on the ground 7-9 months out of the
year. Older wood stoves and those with a lower EPA rating use more wood and
cough out more smoke. Our friends with a blaze king, use 11 cords. We had a
Jotul 100 that adequately heated 4 small rooms with 3 cords of wood for 6
months. Their home is larger... and the rooms near the stove were pretty
hot... but that is a lot of wood!
