[QUOTE="laynes69, post: 3521481, member: 9715"] Our old furnace had a firebox size of a little over 6 cu.ft. It was very inefficient, and would burn through the wood so it was split larger. When we replaced that unit, the new furnace had a 3.5 cu.ft firebox. I found larger splits didn't necessarily burn any longer than smaller splits, and were more difficult to load. Large splits don't get to the moisture level I want in a year, unless it's a softer wood. My brother in law cut, split and stacked standing dead oak in Nov of '10. It's been covered and it's still in the mid 20's on moisture. Hopefully I'll get a couple years ahead on wood this year. Because of the difference in efficiency from the old to the new unit my wood habits changed. [/QUOTE]
