    Hi Bob!!
    (12 step humor to be added here^^)

    You've come to the right place, and free wood is free heat.

    Well in summer it is about the amount you can split and stack before it gets too hot for us northerners;)

    The only problem with a "rick" is it's not always an accurate measure of firewood.
    If you're buying and your supplier delivers 12" long firewood, you don't actually get 1/3 of a cord.


    (For reference, a cord by law is 8'x4'x4'. Totaling 128 cu ft. Stacked.
    1/3 of a cord is 42.6 cu ft
    A "rick" of 12" long firewood is only 32 cu ft. Which means you could get screwed by 25%...or 1 whole rick of firewood if your supplier told you three ricks equal a cord)

    I don't know NH mountain man. The lake is a big heat sink and about 1.5 miles away. The hills are usually white before I get killer frost..

    Hard telling, not knowing. I'm hoping we make it to October before a killing frost hits us.

    If you were around here I would give you the truckload or so that has been given to me. It's all short and random pieces from a coworker.
