Firewood

[flushcut]

I've been working on our wood. We will go through 4 cords easily between 3 stove, 2 houses, where one burns regularly, 2 burn continuously most of the deep winter.

I never measure.

Thankfully, 2 have large fireboxes in the big house. One is a small fireboxfor a small house, though plenty enough to overheat the house.


I've been working on lining up some firewood volunteers for my peninsula elders in need. I think my best bet is dropping logs at people's houses and find volunteers to show up where they live. Might need a tree knocked down on site for a 2-fer.

Way back on AS there was a guy who organized a community firewood split in western WI.

There are tables , legal , official , tables of volume of loose wood equals 1 , 128 cu ft /3.62 cubic meters of properly stacked wood .
Iirc , 180 cu ft of 16" long split firewood = 128 cu ft of stacked .
192 cu ft of 18" long splits loose = 128 cu ft of stacked .
It is actually State law in Maine and there are other states that agree with it .

If you call 1.5 cord of volume , 196 cu ft . A cord of loose 16" split . Your giving a bit extra . But your close to spot on for 18" splits.
