How Much Wood Is In A Cord?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe definition of a cord in the United States is a volume of 128 cubic feet. But usually, it is measured as a stack of firewood which is 4 feet wide, 4 feet high, and 8 feet long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s The Difference Between Softwood And Hardwood?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHardwood is often derived from deciduous trees, which shed their leaves yearly. Softwood is derived from conifers, which generally are evergreen. Hardwood trees are slow-growing, resulting in denser wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Do You Store Firewood?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSelect a location on your property that is dry and has good airflow. If you do not have a barn for firewood storage, stack the wood on top of each other, bark down. After you have stacked all the wood, cover the top of the stack with a tarp. Ensure that there is enough airflow from the sides. Do not store firewood next to wooden buildings or near your house for safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nLocust is one of the best firewood in North America. When properly seasoned, it produces a tremendous amount of heat, almost 30 million BTUs per cord while emitting very little smoke. (That is enough energy to heat 30 million lbs of water by one degree Farrenheit)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Locust trees are well-known hardwood used in various industries. This is because, despite its high cost, it is a beautiful and robust wood. Locust wood is considered to be premium firewood because of the heat it produces, but how good it actually is?
