The can is 16" diameter by 21" height which equals 2.44 cubic feet which is .019 or 1/52 of a Long Island Cord (4'x4'x8') 128 cubic feet
1 cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons. so the can holds 18 gallons
So I burned about 2 1/2 cord (a Long Island Cord) and have .019 cord of ashes,... that doesn't sound so bad. Which would mean I have .0076 of a cord of ash per cord burned.
But when relating it to the waste of a gassification boiler maybe it is alot of waste..

This is true only if my math is right :sick: I have a headache
