I gotta remember 16" long it the right length for a Lang 48"!!

Barry is correct, a cord is 4ft x 4ft x 8ft. I have six ricks that is 4ft tall x 8ft long x 16 in. wide. I like 16" wide bc it works with the firebox better and allows more air flow which results in cleaner smoke.

Originally posted by Marauderer View PostA cord stacked tight is 4'X4'X8'. A rick is 4'HX8'W X how ever the sticks are long would be the depth. If they are 24" long then the Rick would equal 1/2 cord. 16" long stick would be 1/3 cord.

What would you say I have in the above pic? 1/2 cord? I know there are measurements that quantify a cord, but roughly...?

Must rental places have them. Lemme tell you they're worth every penny of rental fee. Perhaps man's greatest invention.

I hear you DW but, when you are old and fat like me the exercise needs motivation andf I use to split 6-8 cords a year by hand back in the 80's. If the body won't handle it then GLS here I come.

Barry I can tell you the gas log splitter is a lot better than swinging the maul.

Hhmmmm, I haven't split wood in a long time. Looks like I need to get to work so when I get my "Stick Burner" I am ready to go. I may have to invest or find someone with a log splitter. I will have to see how I do with my old splitting maul and wedges.

You have a TON of hickory!
No, I've never heard that about cherry. I would think you'd want dry seasoned wood for proper smoke regardless of species. I can't imagine it making a difference, but again I am ignorant of this. www.FruitaWoodChunks.com sells all their species of cherry wood split like any other.
Try a separate cook with dry split pieces, and one w/ fresh split pieces and report back if you notice an appreciable diff.
