Residential fuelwood consumption and production in Michigan, 1992. Forest Service resource bulletin

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5409701

Since fuelwood's heyday in the late 1800's, its use as a primary home heating and cooking fuel has declined dramatically as homeowners opted for the convenience and efficiency of fossil-based fuels. In Michigan, the resurgence in residential fuelwood use resulted in one in three households taking advantage of wood energy (Michigan Department of Natural Resources 1982), and sent the volume of fuelwood burned, i.e. consumption, skyrocketing to levels not seen in half a century.
