What log sizes do you do?

[Woodworks]

I am processing for next season and wondering what lengths do you find most popular and convenient to process? Then there is the question of how small do you split them?

9" for most with a smaller amount of 12" seems to be the norm round here ...

All 9" unless specified . I find that all new stoves recently fitted seem to require smaller logs ie up to 9" max

[redmoosefaction]

I think optimal is 8" x 4"

Nominally I've always done 6-8", 8-10" and 10-15". My customers all seem happy.

 

And it's a doddle to judge - if it's below the tyre on my chopping block it's 6-8", above is 8-10", and well above is 10-15".

7" 9" 18"

hmmm. Sound like I maybe over complicating our system as we currently sell 4 different sizes.

 

Sub 8", 8-10", 10-12" and 12-16" would be nice to get it down to 3 sizes.

 

So for splitting 4" is a good target? Now we have a processor it's very tempting to let larger logs slip through the net.

personally after doing the house measuring ive been doing all mine 9in with some 12 inches on special woods and then for the wood burner some 18in soft.

I went small with the logs and the result was small customer base so I'm going back to chunky for next season and they can split them smaller as needed.

My log burner at home is a 5kw and my 9" logs fit in a treat . So I,m of the opinion that if they fit in my little burner they will fit in most Any special orders are dealt with at no extra charge as we keep some decent seasoned sticks for the special ones

 

Must say my 9 " logs are 1/2 inch either way

 

Don,t really go in for that calibration malarky .
