How many cords of firewood do you cut a year?

[ft. churchill]

Sell a lil' bit as well.

I cut at least one log truck load, which is between 20 and 24 full cord(MI has some of the biggest log trucks in the country).
On top if this I clear lots and log/piece cut every now and then.

Sell about 25 cord a year. Cut about 5 for my parent's and about 6-8 for my self. Keeps me, my father and the kids out of trouble.

Currently I fall, block and deliver around 125 cords per year.
My record was in 1992 when I did 600+ alone.

I think I know the trucks you refer to. They would gross around 150,000 lbs.
Like a gravel truck?
Can only go bout 80,000 here without special permits.

From Wiki:

A cord is the amount of wood that, when "racked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m3).[1] This corresponds to a well-stacked woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) high, 8 feet (244 cm) long, and 4 feet (122 cm) deep; or any other arrangement of linear measurements that yields the same volume.

In Canada, the cord is legally defined by Measurement Canada. The cord is one of three legal standards for the sale of firewood in Canada (stacked cubic metre, cubic foot, and cord). However the stacked cubic metre is now the preferred unit of measurement.[3]

In the United States, the cord is defined by statute in most states. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 130, section 2.4.1.2,[4] defines a cord and provides uniform regulations for the sale of fireplace and stove wood. In the metric system, wood is usually measured in steres and cubic metres: 1 stere = 1 m3 ≈ 0.276 cords

4-5 to heat my shop, as that is my home as well. But l have nipsco as a backup if it gets real cold.

Basically a plywood sheet tall and a plywood sheet deep. Am I right?

I tell people to imagine a sheet of plywood laying on the ground with wood stacked on it 4 ft high.

I cut in the 3 to 5 cord range each year. I gave away about 2 cord this year and I met some older folks here who like to burn wood so I may cut an extra 2 cord next year for them.

It's all about recovery nothing is wasted even the sawdust from the mill gets sold

How does the sawdust get used?

It's sold to put in flower beds, compost/fertilizer, or fuel for furnaces.

I work for a logger that does firewood. We cut/split 45 face today. When the snow gets a-hole deep we try for 25-30 a day. I personally sell about 5 face a year that's it.

It would be a face if it was 24" wood. The term face is rarely heard west of the rockies.

Would you believe the original term face cord was a 12" x 4' x8' stack of wood for cook stoves..
Nowadays, it's exactly what you said it is..
1/3 of a cord..

Never heard that term in Louisiana.
