I have two separate “stashes”… around 19 cord split and stacked, and countless cords of “still-on-the-stick”.
Round numbers… The split and stacked is 80% (15 cord) Bur Oak, 15% (3 cord) Sugar Maple, 5% (1 cord) Ash.
The “still-on-the-stick” is standing-dead elm… I “store” it standing. I don’t cut and split it until the bark falls and I’m ready to toss it in the house, which minimizes the handling. Occasionally I have to stack a little of it (the lower trunk) just outside the old coal shoot for a week or so, and then it’s ready to toss in. I’d guesstimate the “still-on-the-stick” is 80% American Elm, 20% Red Elm.
