Properly seasoned wood contains 20%moisture or less� If wood contains more than 20% moisture, it should not be accepted for use� Wood should be stored off the groundand out of the rain in an environment that allows good air circulation so that the drying process can continue� Wet wood is the mostcommon operational difficulty associated with wood-fired cooking equipment� Wood Stone’s optional Mini-Ligno E Wood MoistureMeter can save you from paying for water when you thought you were paying for wood (see the Tools & Accessories section ofwoodstone-corp.com, contact your dealer or Wood Stone)�** The desirability of variousfragrances is largely a matterof personal preference�Wood Type Heat kg / Cord* Lighting Coaling Sparks Fragrance**Alder Med-Low 1130 Fair Good Moderate SlightApple High-Med 2000 Fair Excellent Few ExcellentAsh High 1590 Fairly Difficult Good-Excellent Few SlightBeech High 1720 Difficult Excellent Few GoodBirch (white) Medium 1360 Easy Good Moderate SlightCherry Medium 900 Fair Excellent Few ExcellentElm High 1045 Very Difficult Good Very Few FairHickory Very High 1900 Fairly Difficult Excellent Moderate ExcellentMaple (red) High-Med 1450 Fairly Difficult Excellent Few GoodMaple (sugar) High 1680 Difficult Excellent Few GoodMesquite Very High Very Difficult Excellent Many ExcellentOak (live) Very High 2090 Very Difficult Excellent Few FairOak (red) High 1680 Difficult Excellent Few FairOak (white) Very High 1900 Fairly Difficult Excellent Few FairPecan High Fair Good Few GoodCalculate your approximate monthly, daily and hourly fuel-wood costs using the following formulas:The cost of well-seasoned hardwood varies greatly with geographical location�Cost per month = A x C Cost per day = A x C Cost per hour = A x C30 3012 hr dayA = Cost/cord (from wood supplier)B = kg/cord (from above table)C = Cords/mth (from experience, or call Wood Stone for an estimate)When burned, a kilo of any wood releases approximately 4�2 kWh (14300 BTU/hr), so it is better to comparethe price of wood by the pound rather than by the cord� A full cord of wood measures 1�2 m x 1�2 m x 1�2 mwhen stacked�Cost per lb = AB( )* Cord / Stere conversion1 cord = 3�6 steres1 stere = �27 cords
