Each torch lasts 30 minutes. A lantern lasts for 2 hours per pint. A campfire lasts 1 hour per armload of fuel but how much is 1 armload of fuel in pounds?
a cord of wood is, on average, 4000 pounds, ranging from 3000 to 5000 pounds. We'll use 4000 as a good rough guide.
"Depending on the weather we will go through 1/2 a cord every 2 weeks"
This means 2000 pounds every 2 weeks. That translates to 1000 pounds a week, which translates to about 143 pounds a day. Dividing that by 24 gives us 6 pounds an hour, in theory, assuming the stove is going all day.
