Love the Mulberry! Sounds like I have a good lead on a nice Black Locust stash, and already have 2.5 cords of Shagbark Hickory that I'm trying to save until next season, so right now Mulberry is the prize of my stacks.
With the colder weather here now and winter being back on track, I think it may be more than the 2 cord mark. I'll have to measure the pile where the wood used to be!
Finished the cord of shoulder last weekend, burning maple, oak and black Locust now, with the odd piece of willow thrown in
Hey there Redding! Just noticed your location and thought I'd say hi. I'm about 3 hours south of you in Pollock Pines.
Do you have a lot of elm up there? It's a rarity here - Dutch elm disease did a real number a hundred years back or so, and all the old elms were lost. It's a rarity here for sure. I work occasionally with a guy who has the recognized "biggest elm in Massachusetts" in his side yard, and it's such a big deal that the school kids visit every year, been in the paper, etc.
Just over 2 face cord (that’s what it’s called here in lovely NY State) ... 3 face cords equal a Full cord everywhere else !
Actually I do, I have sprouts that grow 30 to 40 feet tall and maybe 10 to 12 inches diameter. When they get that big, they die off. I cut em for the stacks when dead, And more come along. There were definately more of them back in the 80's & 90's then there are now.
I'm up to about 1/3 cord of pine so far. May have over done it though: I came home last night to find my wife had the doors open.
Right around a cord. My wife is working from home this heating season so I went from heating with wood 12 hrs a day to 24 hrs a day. Sad to say I will be scrapping the bottom of the barrel come late March.
North Carolina. Extremely well insulated house with high thermal mass. Don't have burn anything until well into November. Also, it turns out I've burned more like 1/2 cord at this point.
It's hard for me too say how much I burn. I get about two days burning out of my wood rack. I have an old farm house that does get very drafty. I'm up on a hill and the west wind is pretty brutal at times. I usually just back my truck into the wood shed and load enough wood to fill the wood rack.
