Pre-Annual Delivery: Firewood Consumption Check - October 2025

The last time I did a 'firewood consumption' check-in was back in December 2024 (pre-Christmas) when I showed how much hardwood firewood was remaining in the racks that live along the side of our garage, on our side 'stoop' and the pair of racks in our screened porch.  At that time, I had a full screened porch, the rack on the side stoop was full and the two side-yard racks were about 90% full.  

Since then, we burned the balance of the Winter and I started to use the firewood in the pizza oven this year.  

Last year, I bought three facecords of firewood (Birch, Cherry, Oak) delivered.  Here's the video showing the drop from the guys at The Grove Mulch and Firewood.  I bought 'kiln-dried' the past few years and have found it to be nicely dried and (maybe more importantly?) also pretty 'clean'.  

I just placed the order for this year that is set to arrive in the coming days.  Same three face cords. 

So...how are we looking in terms of firewood inventory right now?  Below are a few photos showing the current state of our racks.  Let's start in the screened porch.  The two-tiered rack is mostly empty.  This is Cherry on the bottom and Oak on the top.  There's about 40 pieces of wood on this double rack in the screened porch currently.

The other rack stores Birch firewood.  It is about 25% full.  There's about 30 pieces here:

Outside, the rack on the side stoop hold Birch and has just a few pieces remaining:

The large rack on the side of the garage (for Cherry) is down to a couple of layers of wood.  There's about 50 pieces of Cherry left here:

Same with the other outdoor rack that holds Oak.  There's 35-or-so Oak pieces here:

By my (very rough) count, there's between 150 and 175 pieces of wood left currently.  By most counts, a full Face Cord has between 225 and 275 pieces.  Using those numbers, we have about 2/3rds of a Face Cord on-hand.  

That changes later this week with the three face cord delivery.
