"OUR GOAL IS TO SATISFY ALL OUR CUSTOMER´S NEEDS" 

Some useful information about firewood:
Storing firewood
There are many ways to store firewood. These range from simple piles to free-standing stacks, to specialized structures. Usually the goal of storing wood is to keep water away from it and to continue the drying process.

Stacks: The simplest stack is where logs are placed next to and on top of each other, forming a line the width of the logs. The height of the stack can vary, generally depending upon how the ends are constructed. Without constructing ends, the length of the log and length help determine the height of a free-standing stack.

There is debate as whether wood will dry quicker when covered. There is a trade off between the surface of the wood getting wet and allowing as much wind and sun to access the stack. This cover can be a large piece of plywood or an oiled canvas cloth, although cheap plastic sheeting may also be used. Wood will not dry when completely covered. Ideally pallets or scrap wood should be used to raise the wood from the ground, reducing rot and increasing air flow.

There are many ways to create the ends of a stack. In some areas, creating a crib end by alternating pairs of logs helps stabilize the end. A stake or pole placed in the ground is another way to end the pile. A series of stacked logs at the end, each with a cord tied to it and the free end of the cord wrapped to log in the middle of the pile, is another way.

Under a roof: There are no concerns about the wood being subjected to rain, snow or run-off. The methods for stacking depend on the structure and layout desired. Whether split, or in 'rounds' (flush-cut and unsplit segments of logs), the wood should be stacked lengthwise, which is the most stable and practical method. Again though, if the wood needs further seasoning there should be adequate air flow through the stack.

Storing outdoors: Firewood should be stacked with the bark facing upwards. This allows the water to drain off, and standing frost, ice, or snow to be kept from the wood.
Round stacks can be made many ways. Some are piles of wood with a stacked circular wall around them. 

Heating value of firewood
The moisture content of firewood determines how it burns and how much heat is released. Unseasoned (green) wood moisture content varies by the species, green wood may weigh 70 to 100 percent more than seasoned wood due to water content. Typically, seasoned (dry) wood has between 25% to 20% moisture content. Use of the lower heating value is advised as a reasonable standard way of reporting this data.

The energy content of a measure of wood depends on the tree species. For example, it can range from 15.5 to 32 million BTUs per cord. The higher the moisture content, the more BTUs that must be used to evaporate (boil) the water in the wood before it will`burn. Dry wood delivers more BTUs for heating than green wood of the same species.

Measurement of firewood

Usually firewood is sold by volume. While a specific volume term maybe used, there can be a wide variation in what this means and what the measure can produce as a fuel. For example, a "cord" which is made from 4 foot logs, will not be a cord when it is cut into 1 foot logs and these split so each piece will fit through a 3 inch circle. A measure of green unseasoned wood with 65% moisture contains less usable BTUs than when it has been dried to 20%. Regardless of the term, firewood measurement is best thought of as an estimate.
