How much wood did i just get?

I just filled my trailer with beautifully cut same length, clean oak and maple. My trailer is 4x8 with 3in sides and we filled it to the top.

In the shed it piled a perfect 8' wide x 6' high. If i'm not mistaken, this is a little more than half a cord, is that correct?

I'm just trying to understand what i paid for. Great wood though, split a thick piece and it tested 19%.

I'd say 16-18"

Well, let's see. 4' x 8' x 3"...that's 4' x 8' x ¼', so that would make it 8 ft³, or 6.25% of a cord.

30" not 3" nice catch

we stacked it in the trailer.

Forget about the amount, this is the best wood i've ever burned. Place it on a few hot coals and it lights up in just a minute. And each split burns for a good amount of time and burns so well that i'm practically shutting all the air off. After two days of constant burning of this new load, there is minimal "soot" on the glass, less than i've ever seen.

Now if i can only get a 6 hour burn, I'd be set. Since i just started my own processing, it'll take me years to get to this kind of quality seasoned wood by myself.
