Nothing You turn to the want ads Several people are offering firewood for sale. Their ads mention such things as “split oak”, "mixed wood," "half- cord,” "face cord", "pick-up load”, and "seasoned " Relax. Dick Allison, forestry specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, can help you ask the right questions when you place your order. “First, ask what kind (species) of wood is being sold, Allison suggests, “the amount of heat in wood is determined by its weight and moisture content, not by its volume. Heavier woods, such as hickory, will provide almost twice the heat of light woods. such as white pine. Here are the weights in pounds per cubic feet of the most common woods available in North Carolina figured on the basis of 20 percent moisture Hickory, 46; white oak, 45; red oak and beech. 43; sugar maple and birch, 42; ash, 41; slash and longleaf pine, 40; red maple. 37. loblolly and shortleaf pine. 35. sweetgum, tupelo. e , sycamore and Virginia pine, , red cedar, 33; yellow poplar. 30, and white pine, 25.

This means the should be stacked so tightly^ rabbit cannot squeeze througn will go to driving off the moisture instead of heating your home. Allison says six to eight months are usually needed for firewood to dry properly. Split wood will dry faster than unsplit wood. Also wood will dry faster during warm weather and if it is stacked off the ground. "Look at the end of the logs," Allison suggests. "A lot of little cracks indicate the wood has started to dry." Third, ask the seller how much wood — in cords — he is offering for sale. “Much wood is sold by the pick-up load." Allison said, “and pick-ups come in many sizes. The only legal measurement for firewood in North Carolina is the standard cord, and the best way to measure wood is to stack it on the ground.” A standard cord is a volume measurement equalled to 128 cubic feet. A pile of wood four feet high, eight feet long and four feet wide will give you 128 cubic feet or one standard cord. Such a stack includes both the wood and the air spaces between the wood Since you are interested in buying wood, not air, here are some tips to remember about stacking wood.
