Iv read the difference a thousand times in hear , I don’t have room to stack accurately and measure what I have. How about a few pics of each just so I can compare in my head . Cheers
To properly assess my stacks I've gone to counting ricks (8' long, 4' high, in 16" splits). I like it because it's more modular. I cut all my splits to 16" and I put my wood on pallets so I know that 2 pallets long is about 2 ricks as long as the stacks are 4' high. 3 ricks = a full cord (American). Now all I have to do is count the pallets and I know how much wood I have.
Grief makes my wood look like a box of matches, although uk houses are tiny in comparison. My Fire is only 14” wide
I would just pull out your tape measure and find a cord calculator on your computer. Easy as can be. You dont even need to do the math. Just plug in your measurements and off you go!
From the menu bar if you go to the resources page you can end up at the site's cordwood calculator: Firewood & Cord Calcuations you don't even have to convert 14 inches into 1.1666 feet, it will do that for you. it's still nice to put a number on heating resources you've used for the year even if it's a rough number. it can't be all that much harder than tallying bottled spirits.
All of my wood is calculated by single rows. I fill an area with as much as I can fit. I am currently filling an area where each row is .7 of a cord. Then just multiply from there.
