Nice organization on this spreadsheet, but I can’t quite get a grip on it. Does it say at the end that you’ve got 59 cords??We are only on 2 acres, but I have access tio many more abutting up to our two.
As far as wood, here's my spreadsheet I use to keep track.

how do you fit 59 cords of wood on two acres of land? I can’t imagine what that must look like
On my mostly treeless suburban lot, I have just more than enough fuel for two years of full time burning. 10-11 cords in a shed. That's about all I want to keep on hand. I am starting to believe that wood can be too dry.
7.75 cord
I love it when people calculate down to the 1/100th of a cord. Anymore, I’m happy if I can guess my stash to within +/- 5 cords, between the CSS’d and unsplit.
Just pick up one of these new age tools... Then input the numbers into this magical program:
It could be like years ago - figure a whole bunch of stuff with a slide rule, out to 3 or 4 digits, add and work them around, then apply a safety factor of 2 maybe 3 to the whole works.Oh, I understand how you did it. But I also understand significant digits, and your accuracy does not support that precision.
But my comment was more about whether 1/100th of a cord precision is useful. It amounts to a few hours of burn time, at a usage rate of 5 - 6 hundredths of a cord per day. One doesn’t usually need to predict what time of day they will run out of wood, on a 3-year plan. [emoji14]

No blood pressure was raised. It's all good. I appreciate the sarcasm, I was just poking fun, too. In fact, I was just gearing up to start measuring my firewood in milligrams.Sarcasm doesn't come over too well on the forums... Next time I post something like this I will make sure to change the precision on it so I don't raise the blood pressure of some of you.
Why in the world would you want the weight of your wood in Grams ?No blood pressure was raised. It's all good. I appreciate the sarcasm, I was just poking fun, too. In fact, I was just gearing up to start measuring my firewood in milligrams.

Here's mine: 1.034191e+11 mg, give or take a couple mg
I think we are only two posts away from invoking Avogadro’s number.
