How much firewood do I need to get through winter?

If you burn firewood for heating your home how much firewood do you go through each winter?

How much firewood should I have on hand to get me through a winter?

How much firewood you need depends on the size of your house and how well insulated your house is.

I have a 1,500 square foot house and I heat solely with wood heat starting in November and I go through about 5 cords of wood per winter.
