We have sellers here who short you or tell you they split at 16” and you get 20” pieces that don’t fit in your stove!
Indeed; us humans gots frustrations everywhere!

Here, in France, gov’t regulations are a curse and a blessing.

This last order I purchased in 2023, my wife and I didn’t understand the volume of firewood delivery is dependent upon how many cuts; the more cuts the seller has to perform, the less wood seller is required to deliver. So seller originally delivered 50 cm lengths and that would have equated to more wood…so I screwed up…AND, that first delivery was an awful lot of beech (darnit! Fooled myself again, doh!)

So, I was going to request 1 meter lengths next time and cut to fit myself…becuz, if a customer requested only 1 meter lengths will that buyer should receive the full amount of wood ordered! Now, I didn’t investigate if the seller would actually agree to deliver 1 meter lengths. Maybe some year.

My little Panadero takes 16.5” max (42cm)
 
Some big oak, cherry, and 1 split of ash for the night. Supposed to be on the warmer side tonight, probably won’t have to have a fire in the morning. Probably will be able to make it until tomorrow night. Cruising low and slow at 630 STT

Currently upper 30's, we've had a couple of warmer days... House is still 68 degrees from the morning load of pine and aspen. Will have a little fire later to fire up the charcoal and reheat the flue, then a cherry and black ash overnight load. Winter Storm warning going into effect at Midnight, but I suspect it will be much ado about nothing.

Just fired up the stove for an evening burn, 72F inside, 28F out. Sitka spruce with some old beetle kill mixed in. Gotta keep my indoor temps high enough to proof my sourdough for a Thanksgiving loaf!
