Firwood Hand Toss Measurement
I read in a book about a study done on the east coast years ago, that entailed hand tossing firewood into a bin over and over to determine an approximate measurement of a cord that wasn't stacked. It seems to me like it was 190 cubic feet. This would be helpful as most of our customers have large trailers or trucks (farming community) and we generally load with a skid loader or sometimes hand toss. Measuring up there hauler and just loading with having to stack measure would take a lot of labor out of the equation.
Does anybody know this number. I have been trying to find it but can't remember which book it was in.
Thanks,
Kyle
