First, a cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet. Not a truckload, a rack or any other measure. At least one local seller markets “cords” of firewood and they average 108 cubic feet.
The larger the pieces you get the more actual wood you will get. Also the slower your wood will get burned up. Small pieces are good for starting a fire, bigger pieces are more ideal for consistent heat.
Creasote is not caused by pitch or by the type of wood, rather it’s caused by moisture in the wood or a slow burning Smokey fire. Run a hot clean fire with dry wood and you will minimize creasote build up.
Often people think certain types of wood are best, the real evidence is based in how many BTU different species of wood produce. BTU per cord is available on most kinds of wood. I have done some maths based on my prices to figure BTU per dollar, to show which wood I sell is the best deal to heat your home.(I posted one btu chart in the pictures)
Redwood @200 a cord 99.5 thousand btu per dollar
Pine @300 a cord 60 thousand btu per dollar
Douglas fir @400 a cord 66.5 thousand btu per dollar
White/black oak @500 a cord 56 thousand btu per dollar
Live oak @550 pet cord 66.5 thousand btu per dollar
Madrone @600 per cord 51.5 thousand btu per dollar
I have numerous ads for firewood I sell, mostly I sell doug fir and live oak.
I only deliver full cords, I sell partial cords at my wood yard in Alton 1178 hwy 36, open Saturdays 9-3
