Four tonnes of firewood arrived on Friday afternoon. It took my family of four a little over five hours to carry it to the storage shed. I had a reference because my autism demanded stimulation.
The shed has about 3.5 x 6 x 1.5 metres of usable volume. That amount of firewood lasts us the entire heating season with a bit left over.
(edit: replaced photo with a smaller one)
That first image 100% looks like a video game render
It looks like a project my autistic ass would make in UE5 titled “pile of logs v3.2”
I totally thought this was a skyrim or rust screenshot, lmao
Imagine the sound of throwing another dry log on that pile

Why does that wood pile photo look like it has pre-rendered background?
Because nobody can afford a properly rendered yard anymore.
Well, did you see the prices of ram lately… No wonder reality is losing its appeal!
Probably blacked out for privacy.

That’s just the lighting.

What do you burn it in?
I’ve been looking into a dual fuel GPCS boiler. It would be expensive but it would pay for itself over about 7 years (our winters go down to -30⁰C) compared to natural gas or electric baseboard heaters.
I’d like to run it on wood and coal if possible, since I can get washed and oiled coal for around $50/ton at the mine, around roughly $2/GJ or so.
Natural gas is around $1.6/GJ but we get raked over the coals on distribution charges and admin fees. The real cost is $12-15/GJ once all costs are rolled in. Power is about the same. Coal is literally ⅕ the cost if you also include time and expense of me picking a truck load up at the mine.
I have no idea what the proper English terminology is. It’s a natural draft furnace that is plumbed into the heating system. It’s a purely utilitarian gray box that is twice as tall as it is wide. Ashpan and air inlet at the bottom, solid fuel goes in the middle on a grate, heat exchanger pipes and chimney connector at the top. It’s probably been here since before the fall of the Soviet Union.
So, Chuck, how much?
As much as an unladen swallow.
…how many cords is four tonnes?..
(a cord is about 3.5 cubic metres of densely stacked wood, similar to the bottom picture, all parallel-racked and and neatly stowed)
Giant pile with the word “stack” in the title made me click. Found a neat stack in the second photo. Description used metric. 10/10
“Stacking wood,” she said…
Hell yeah, brother!
