In tonight’s episode, a round of chestnut oak. Pics say it all, what’s your guess.

 

112#

107

 

1st 2 guesses in the triple digits.

This weight is why I won't be bucking at 24" anymore.

 

uh oh, i did that one time with a good sized rock i brought home, yup a tundra just like yours, even the same color, i ended up putting a slight bow in my tailgate, not on the outside, but, on the inside. BUT, at 2 ft long its probably spread out enough not to bow it. That IS a NICE chunk of wood, i like getting those big butt cuts, they are the PRIMO wood in my opinion. Will you ship???? USPS lol

 

325 lbs, real weight, 72.5 lbs

 

Didn't hurt the truck but if I keep it up I won't have much of a back to speak of.
Sure, I'll ship. What method do you prefer?

 

I pick up and carry very similar sized pieces to that one (with one in each arm like carrying suitcases) to the ATV trailer with these:
Lockhart's Firewood Gripper (18

I cut mine 20-22" long. Seems like anything more than 15" diameter or so I will half/quarter, depending on how big the diameter is.

Based on that, I say 75lbs. I was just out doing that yesterday in fact.

 

45 lbs per cu ft X 1.57 cu ft = 70.65 lbs

If green oak is 45lbs per cubic foot

 

Hoorey sheet, I'm lifting these up into my truck fellas!! I'm not turning green to do it...

 

I'll guess 125 lbs.

 

76.5 lbs

 

I fixed it. I originally did diameter instead of radius.

 

I see that.....and we both did perimeter instead of area! LOL I deleted it, but you caught me! Something just didn't seem right, I then went back and QC'd my post and .

 

I think that is a plan I am going to try. Stove takes 24" but 20-22" will allow room for crooked cuts.

 

3.14*r^2. = Area
Area * length = volumn

3.14*6.5^2/144 (convert inches to feet) * 2 (length) = 1.84ft^3

I used my desktop calculator.

1.57 x 45 = 70.65

 

167 lbs
