I Built a Firewood Calculator (total cordage, cu/ft, weight, BTU and more)

[BCB]

I have built a firewood calculator and hopefully some of you might find it useful, it is a bit different from others I have seen so far online.

• Calculates total cordage based on woodpile size as well as total cubic ft. Cordage is outputted both in cord and face cord as both are widely used depending on area. It also shows aliases for both cord types for example a Face cord is known as a "Rick" in some places and a cord can be known as a bush cord or standard cord.

• Gives an estimate on weight depending if you chose dry or wet

• Gives estimated "Heating Energy" (BTU) as well as equivalent in electrical (kWh), and heating oil (gallons). This is also dependent on whether dry or wet as BTU changes substantially.

• Fun random firewood fact displayed at bottom on each calculation.

Hope you find it useful: https://boisafeudunord.com/tools/cord-calc.html

Appreciate feedback, and if there is something you think should be added, let me know.

Few more updates, I have split some wood types due to substantial differences in BTU, weight etc.

• Birch is now white birch and yellow birch
• Oak is now white oak and red oak
• Maple is now red maple and sugar maple
