Who’s ready for burn season? Do you already have your firewood?

Ten seasons ahead, most stuff is 5 to 10 yrs old in a building, all oak and hickory, not to mention the white oak blocks. Over 4 cords, two seasons burning, at least in the king.

Nice, I have those small pieces. I really don’t like them like that. Because you can’t really stack them in the stove. I think they’re good for doing the day when you want to keep the heat going.

Those pieces are the perfect stacking fuel with their straight sides.
You may have to put one stack in front of the other but stacking they do better than any split wood ...

My pieces are far from small an occasional piece gets slipped in some of those weigh 10 to 20 lbs most are over 5lbs. ,in my King parlor in bitter weather, a full load burns for 16 hours usable heat. I load on a coal bed because they are slow to start when stacked tight. They leave a small coal bed and burn to powder almost. Over one ton in here back in the day when they didn't deliver. You picked up, and they weighed you in and out.

Pretty much maxed out space wise. I could probably consolidate 2 partial stacks to make available 1 more 8ft long single stack.
Going to have to measure all the 8 and 10 ft randomly placed stacks to see what the grand total amounts to. I'll guess 6 cords but hopefully there's more than that.
