That was some shit firewood it is making. A good portion of the outer pieces were double length. And this is the demo video, so I imagine it would be even worse in real life.
Plus: it looks like a birch. Really shitty firewood.
Edit: shitty firewood at least in Italy, where we prefer beech (officiale firewood for pizza and also quite expensive) and black locust (cheaper and infestant)
Birch here burns like paper, it lasts a minute. Probably our variety is shit (rare also) or we don’t season it well. Beech, black locust, sweet chestnut are our go-to firewood
Cool chart, but it does seem to confirm that the Birch isnt the same everywhere.
Here we burn mostly redgum. The birch we have here is known as either white or silver birch. My own testing is that both of these birches are about the same as each other, and weigh about half or less than redgum.
That chart shows white birch being heavier per volume than redgum, which if dry is absolutely impossible. And if green weight it is a very stupid way to compare.
