Sweet Jesus! 4.5 face cords or full cords? if face cords, you must wear a heck of a lot of cloths or like things "fresh" 😯

I was looking at my wood stack today and realised I screwed up when I said I can heat with 4.5 cord, both levels of my house using the downstairs stove...I forgot that I am using dimensional lumber (scrap from the lumber yard). That's not directly comparable to ordinary tree fire wood as it is stacked and measured without the voids that are in a cord made up of logs. I don't know how much the voids in a cord made up of wood would come to, I would guess 1/5, I must be close, so that means I would be nearer to 5.5.

Love the honesty. Very important in life and in prepping. Your right about density, but your still doing good because I use hardwood, like maple, ash, ironwood... and I believe your lumber is spruce or pine remnants! That burns a lot faster, so if you were burning maple.. you would likely be under 4 ( full ) cord.

On separate note. If anyone is new to burning wood and they use ironwood, please don’t put too much in stove or fireplace because it burns REAL hot and if not careful, one could damage a stove.. also, you will go through your chain or saw edges quicker
