! not to worry! it is all good and where it should be as long as you are the doing/paying for the heat not us! just an example of the differences between stacked load and thrown in loads to compare with.... my box is 7.5x3.75x10.5 feet=295 (plus what's over the top) cubic feet as I figure 320 for a 2 cord load .I grant you that there's air gaps between the blocks, but the load measured 8x6x5. 5' high on the level, if you look at the crown of the load it measures more like 6 1/2'. So at 8x6x5 that equals 240' and 2 cords is 256' so it's a tad short. The forest circus doesn't give 2 ***** about air gaps when they're measuring the load, if it measures 2 cords, then it better be tagged as such or its a $200 ticket. If I had the time I would sit and split all of the blocks and then stuff them in to fill the air gaps, but I didn't have the time. Maybe when I go up next time I'll do it little better job for you guys.
I get that, I've just come out of the hills with a load that I considered measured at 1 1/2 cords and the forest circus check station measured it and said it was 2 cords, they wrote me a $200 ticket. And yeah these guys here have been setting up firewood check stations for the last couple years, it's pretty ridiculous.! not to worry! it is all good and where it should be as long as you are the doing/paying for the heat not us! just an example of the differences between stacked load and thrown in loads to compare with.... my box is 7.5x3.75x10.5 feet=295 (plus what's over the top) cubic feet as I figure 320 for a 2 cord load .
I hear that! back in the early 80's in Washington state (wet side) "DONT MOVE HERE" there was a outfit that was called woodfinders, they charged 20.00 for a permit that was good for a single cord. if stopped and measured more you had a fine or throw it off? wonder where that went to ? jonny on the spot, and if you were checked they watched you like your a thief!!! holes didn't matter either inch is an inch as a cubic foot!I get that, I've just come out of the hills with a load that I considered measured at 1 1/2 cords and the forest circus check station measured it and said it was 2 cords, they wrote me a $200 ticket.

Good haul. Some nice buckskin in there. Up this way it's $20 for 4 cord. They need to open up some more damn gates though.Got a good load of Doug fir last weekend, about 2 cords in the truck. I was hoping to back up to the mountains his weekend for more, but work and the weather had other ideas. I need to get back up there at least one more time before the snow stops me for the yearView attachment 534358
