"4-5".. its been long day. Worked 8 hours and s/s a little over 2 cords with help
Actually, does it not depend on the split length?fossil said:
24" = 2 face cord to a cord or each is a 1/2 cord
12" = 4 face cord to a cord
16" = 3 face cord to a cord
This is why I go by a full cord. I stack 2 rows of 16" to 18" to a pallet x 2 pallets x avg 6-7' high, just over a cord per

Of course it does, Bro. I always just assume 16" for the sake of estimating. Like you, I don't deal in face cords, either...but in some regions of the country they routinely do (have for generations) and they seem to get along just fine with it. We've had this discussion so many times I really can't imagine what's to be gained by getting into it all over again (sorry I commented on it). The OP got a bunch of wood, no matter how you slice it.

We have? :lol: I stack in cords out back but I'd be shocked if they were actually that. They're 24' long, 4' high or so with lengths anywhere from 14-18 inches. I try to stay in the 16" range but if I have a choice between two 14's or a 16 and a 12 the two 14's will get cut. I know I'm not the only one with varying lengths in my stacks!
To the OP, silver maple is a good wood imo, I burned up about 3/4 of a cord to start the season off.(couple cords last season as well) The price is right, I would get a bunch of those loads. I wish I had more of it right now since burning my oak or ash seems like a sin with the warm winter we've had. What part of Michigan are you in? I'm in Northeast Oakland County.......
The "face cord" topic again. LOL :lol:
Nice score, regardless how much it is, It's a good score with free delivery

Good job!whatisup02 said:
I'm thinking that you'll be burning that stack this Fall so you shouldn't have to worry too much about the wood punking out, but normally you'd want to avoid having it in contact with the ground.
I got to thinking today that I could use some of these dead Sassafras as runners, like Dennis does on some of his stacks. Lay two of them on the ground side by side and stack on them instead of messing with pallets. Seems like they don't rot too fast when they're lying around in the woods, so they might work pretty well.

It will be put on pallets. But I didn't have any and wanted it done to see what I had.
If you average the splits at 16-17", then you've got 2 full cord by those dimensions.
I'd say ya done gooder.

Wow - the photo of the rounds was deceiving. I would say that is a great score and if you can get that quality or better per load keep them coming.
