100 kW
4.5kWh/kg heat energy content, average, for Aussie firewood.
Most of it wasted, unless it's cooking dinner and got a water jacket around the flue.
A cube of firewood in Vic is just over 500kg, give or take a lot of factors.http://m.dpi.vic.gov.au/forestry/private-land-forestry/forest-products-and-processing/ag1106-growing-plantation-firewood?SQ_DESIGN_NAME=mobile&SQ_ACTION=set_design_name
4.5 x 500 = approx 2250kWh. That's a crap load of energy. If you could use 2MWh of that, from a micro CHP.
A small household maybe uses between 12-24kWh of electricity a day and dump about the same heating, hot water and cooking.
