You're my kinda wood chuck.
WOW and i thought i was doing good to have 4 cords for next year and started 4 more cords for the year after that sounds complicated but my stove works so much better having 2 year old wood. how many cord are in that barn and how many stoves do you have?:jawdrop:
Well I'm not sure yet how much I will use since this is my first year with my OWB. So far I haved averaged one cord per month. I have been cutting downed trees & dead standing trees to use now. I still have three more dead trees to cut & split, which I think will get me through this season. I have approx seven cords cut, split, & stacked for next year.
Stack in this shed measures 80' X 18' X 7' which equals 78 3/4 cord. Mainly Beech, sugar maple, hackberry and ash. Dad and I cut for about 1 month in my spare time as I work full time, he's retired and pushes me! I have a OWB and he has a homemade stove. Between the 2 of us we average about 20 cord of wood usage a year. Total now stands at 166 cord cut, stacked, split and under roof. That doesn't include both of our supplys for this year. We cleared a 3/4 mile long fencerow last year plus Hurricane Ike's winds came through and we have loads down. At least 100 more cord down but we quit for this year. We cut around 45 cord this year.
There are all kind of trees in Ohio ; We can't even keep up with what dies or blows down on our own property. There are more pics of the wood in the pictures section under "I'm done...."
11 cord in each of these.
You certainly are one lucky man... live in NH, burn wood, wife at home, and get a sweet deal like that for firewood...
...
