Weight of firewood

[woodworm]

I cut all my firewood to 10" long and its all hardwood. Does anyone know an approx weight for 3 cubic metres of the above wood as I have never weighed any of it.

Green or seasoned, types of wood?

[woodworm]

Sorry fella, its all seasoned and under 20% and its Beech, Sycamore, Ash, Birch. A rough mix of each.

1.2 ton at a wild guess.

 

You just curious or are you going to start selling by weight?

[woodworm]

Would never sell by weight, thinking of changing my truck and want to make sure that I am legal on towing weights.

Firewood varies too much to give an absolute.

 

Best thing would be to get an "average" 3 cube of your own and take it to a bridge. Even different log men would get a different weight from the same type of timber. Depends how small its split, if its "shaken" down into bags etc.

 

Most of the 3500kgs trucks should be ok with 3 cube of seasoned on though.

+1 - put it over a bridge - we did with ours and use a ballpark of 0.5t per cu metre
