how much do u think is in the pile

Oh..

My guess is 3.1415926 cord.. Lemme know what I won on 3/14/2021

No thongs plz


Nobody needs that

 

i usually pack it pretty tight when it comes to stackin the only time it may go little off when stackin is when i try to stack some of the super knotty or uglies with rlly nice splits

 

and when i get an opening on 1 of my stacking sites ill make sure to take pics ....... what would u guys like as a prize

 

Chainsaws are always a big hit...

 

I think not seeing Jack in a small thong is the best gift you can give

 

Did you refer to the FHC Pi chart by any chance for that amount?

 

Just under 2 cords. Those splits look like the perfect size !

 

ty..... i got a ussc hotblast furnace 1557m (indoor )and logs like theses seem to be right in the sweet spot for it for

 

I always shoot for 5"x5"17" or 13" myself. Sometimes I like to pack it with E W short splits

 

I'm going to go ahead and guess.... that landscape mode wasn't working on your phone?

 

nope for awhile there i kinda just said fudge it for the moment till one of my spots for stackin it opens up

 

and who really cares if my yard aint a show stopper

 

hey guys heres an update on the massive pile of splits almost done with stackin can take measurements later but the stack is mostly red maple and oak black locust ash white oak beech ironwoodhophornbeam andhickory (shaggy)

 

I use a spherical cap volume formula to give me a ball park number of my winter hauls. Just need the circumference and height of the pile. Last year I computed 10.5 cord and I actually got 10.2 cord out of it. It normally seems to be within a cord or so.

 

I pile mine too until time to fill the shed in late May.
I use an ellipsoid formula, divide it by 2 because it’s not an ellipsoid and then multiply it by 70%, to account for a fluff factor. And divide by 128

I get 2.35 cord, plus or minus a stick

im counting on your stacked measure to calibrate my fluff factor.

 

The elippsoid method is problematic because it doesn’t account for the curvature of the earth. Really what you want is the parabolic method, curvature factored in, longitude and latitude, altitude, relative humidity, with barometer pressure and use a GPS and atomic clock to really pinpoint the mass of wood within the fabric of space and time. I would hire a Nepalese Sherpa to verify your results, given the quantum nature of reality and that it’s a completely subjective individual experience.
