crazy cheap firewood

[gensetsteve]

I must be doing something really wrong if everyone else is getting a m3 from 300kg of wood. Every time I have an artic load of logs delivered I typically yield 40 - 42 bags. I should be getting nearly 80 if they weighed in at 300kg/m3. Are you sure you aren't thinking of builders sand bags rather than m3 bags?

 

I don't think that the trader, haulier and my courier are all in collusion to spirit away half my wood. The artics look pretty full when they arrive.

 

Baz when your wood comes in it will weigh 600kg per loose cut cubic meter. Thats because its full of water. When you cut it up and leave it for 18 months the water evaporates. So 40 bags is right. Before you send next load out cut log in half measure moisture in the middle.
