bear 1998 asked me how much wood I had socked away, and I had no idea. I walked quickly around the yard (it's cold) and did an estimate, came up with 7 cords dry and 9 cords drying. I'm not counting unprocessed wood. Before you burn too much of your stash, what's your current cord count?
6 css under roof in the shed for this winter's use. With last year's insulation upgrade (boiler storage tank) I am hopefully going to use 4.5 to 5 this winter. 4 css in the elements. 6 cut and split (yet to be stacked). Unknown cord amount waiting its turn after deer season!
I did an inventory last week (a member wanted pics) and came up with 47 as a conservative estimate, maybe 10% of that needing CS. Of course thats subject to change the way i hoard wood!
Total processed is about 8.5 to 8.666. About 5.5 in the shed (I'll hopefully use about 1/2 that this winter). Unknown amount in unprocessed logs. Another unknown quantity in the woods waiting for the chainsaw and I to get to work. I'm pretty well set for 3 years at the rate we're now burning.
I did just that earlier today. ~10 cord css'd. 4 cord at, or near 3yrs stacked. About 2/3 cord in rounds. I have a couple of empty racks. The rounds will be split over the next week. Then, I'm back to full scrounge mode. I hate seeing empty racks.
about 21 cords split n stacked....depending on the weather....we may burn 2 cords n a little fuel oil.... We have enough seasoned (ready to go) for 3 years.....think i may start to sell some as i replenish...
2 cords of maple, 1 cord of oak, about a half a cord of pine. Some maple and oak to split Not in good shape compared to past years.
I’ve got 15.5 full cords css, off ground & top covered. Burn 4 cord a year. Going out looking for more this weekend.
12 cords, all CSS. 6 in the covered shed and 6 stacked outside and top covered. I have used about a third cord into the shed since I started burning around 1st of Oct. About half the time was a cold stretch (for around here) and the rest fairly mild. I usually burn 3 - 3.5 cords a year. Doug Fir, Madrone, Locust, cherry and Maple in that order of quantity.
Im almost embarassed to say after reading some of these amounts. 4.5 ready to burn, 3.5 drying and guesstimate of 4 in rounds.
2 cords CSS and seasoned for this year. 1/2 cord CSS for next year waiting for me to add from the 5 cords of rounds I have stashed away and dried at my buddies. That’ll be CSS within a month. With a pool and 2 kids here on LI as a blue collar guy, space at a premium.
6 cords ready to go this year. Normally burn 3 to 4 cords per year. Another 2 cords slated for next year or beyond.
