Still a cord left in my shed. It's a standard western WA mix of Doug fir, red alder, big leaf maple, and white birch. I'm guessing there's another 7 cords of fir, alder, and maple stacked outside the shed and about half of that (the fir and alder) could be burned right now.
I don’t figure you number your stacks, it’s much like a rotation basis. You’ve likely stacked wood in the same places for some 20 years and never had to bother with moving far from where you felled the trees. I was stackinf wood the other day, thinking my 6-7 cords at the most were hard work then thought of your 70+ you said you had at one point. Hope you had some help...
Not cold or even mildly snowy.... and then tada we get the most snow of the year in ...April. Oh well. At least it's finally spring, right? Im full up, but it didn't stop me from doing a little wood fishin' at the recycling center...
I ended up burning right at 8 cords between October and April here in Eastern WV...this little bit of Shagbark Hickory is all I have left! The good news is I have probably 10 cords of Ash, Locust, Cherry, and Oak to split over at the wood lot. The Ash is ready to burn right now, and I’ll be getting a lot more of that stuff over the course of the summer. I still need some coal-eating wood like Poplar or Pine.
I don't really earmark a certain amount for winter, guess that is one of the nice things about being on the multi-year plan. All I can add is I have around 22 cords split and stacked still and around 7 to split......and the kitchen oak chairs are safe for another season.
I felt I needed an extra cord for the winter as I only had 4 cords that was in the shed that was seasoned for 1 year so I ordered wood for $200 that the guy said was seasoned when I asked he told me the wood was sitting outside from April to June last year (no way it was seasoned in 3 months) then stacked inside the shed July.
