a dry dumpy bag weighs approx 250kg and that 0.55m3. woodpicker weighed one once.

I weighed one a few dumpy bags, 8-14 inch logs averaged about 160kg, sub 8 inch logs weighed just over 200.

 

To many variables to give an answer to the above question though, just my results based on interest.

Why?? Logs should be sold by volume, not weight?

Mmmm, I know i have done my fair share of winding people who dont sell by volume, but if you are buying cord timber in, it is usually bought per ton.

 

But, if buying green cord you are only likely to get 1.6 - 1.8 cube of dry firewood from it.

 

Hope that helps without causing confusion:blushing:

As a comparison,

 

we weighed off a cubic metre of wet, freshly cut and split mixed hardwood logs, and they weighed 690kg.
