Loved this!! Beautiful, informative, efficient. I loved the quote, too, where it talks about only wood fires reaching the heart. In my learning about health and the vagus nerve, etc., it has been mentioned that the gathering of family and friends around the fire - sharing stories, comfort, and companionship - is a big missing piece in our current health - mental and social - which is directly, interactively related to our physical well-being. Thanks for the reminder of how wonderful wood fires can be for humans.
Yup, like I've been saying, the best way to store carbon is on the stump. Thanks Patrick! How much wood do you reckon, cord(s), is in one of the round stacks?
Hmmm...seems like it ought to be more... πr² is roughly 75 sq ft, x 4 ft high is 300 cu ft, and a cord is 128 cu. ft. My math is rusty, but it should be over 2 cords, unless I'm missing something. If I'm right 3 of those should get me through even a severe winter. Now making it look good...ha! Not sure I'd qualify.

P.S. I bet ANYTHING that the expression about how something/someone "stacks up" is directly related to your paragraph about woodpiles and masculinity!

John, it comes out to just about a cord if the diameter is roughly 10ft and it's filled all the way up on the inside.
