I sell 100 cords a year, mostly 16"-18"
Some 12" and some 20"
Some 12" and some 20"

"One word of advice. Whatever length you're selling, miss small. In 30 years of selling wood, nobody has ever complained about a 14 inch piece not fitting in their 16 inch stove. Give them a couple pieces 17 inch and they'll be burning the phone line to you complaining the whole pile of wood you sold them is too long and won't fit in the firebox."

+1. See my post also. Cut it a little short, not long, and bring some extra pieces to make up for it. Your customers will appreciate that.
nothing bigger than 10 in my stacks
i have a small QF 2100i and i load n/s
I cut wood 24" if they want custom wood I charge for the extra labor 24" wood is less splitting two rows vrs three 16" so I charge a third more for extra splitting and handling of custom wood. I burn 32" wood optimal but I don't try to sell wood so if I get a call for it I explain the way mine is cut and why it is more work to cut it shorter so inevitably higher priced for shortwood. If I actually wanted to sell my wood I would cut the majority 16" or whatever my customers burn but I really have not pursued it as a business venture.
16" is pretty standard around here as already noted. My stove will take 18s but I prefer 16s.
I buck mostly with my 261 and 210, so I just use the bar length as a guide.
God i want a mingo marker. im stuck with a tape measure that i spray paint over...you should see how much paint build i've got on that!
i cut my logs into 16 inchers.
I cut mine 16"-18" my nopolian holds 18 but 16's are mint to load when she is ruunning red hot and the coals build up!!
