What was the program on your phone that you used?
The wood was cut and split back in the summer. I laid in a pile until I stacked it a week or 2 ago. I have not checked the MC of it. I've seen charts ranging from 3485 to 3950 per cord. The pallet actually had over 70 cubic feet on it. So depending on the MC and what chart you want to go with my 2200lb for the wood may not be off much. If you go with 3950 per cord it would be 2133lbs.

Ok, the reason I figured 10 cords as they used to sell one of these as 9 or 10 cords. So I imagined that pile being loaded on one of these. I use to log for a while , then went on mechanical harvestor for a couple years. Now just firewood. Liked the work but no money at the time. I used to get paid $14 on the machine, and $28 a cord with the chainsaw. Of course, most of the wood was small in size. Anywhere from 3 inches to maybe 12 inches, but only 3 lengths of 8 foot wood. Of course some area's were better, but most of the great wood was cut before my time, here in Newfoundland.

With the thermometer dropping rapidly, hauled another load of firewood in to keep us warm.
The knarly sections of hard maple can be dificult to stack so I came up with an idea for an
open-air storage cage for the "chunks". Used some scrap lumber that was on hand and it
made for a very sturdy and efficient way to stack and air dry the chunks by the wood boiler.
Measures 48x22x7ft tall. Holds a lot of chunks!

I happened to visit friends at their new home and noticed it came with a BUCK stove... I commented and the wife said they are getting rid of it because it doesn't work... lots of smoke and the wood would not burn hardly at all...

They did not open the damper and used wood from a branch that dropped a few weeks prior...

I'm not an expert but it sure seems a lot of common life skills have been lost...

What's a damper?
