first fire

4 days later than last year, but we've lit the fire for the first time this Autumn.  Still using the logs stacked last year.  About 2.5 slabs used out of 6.  Each slab is very loosely 1 stere, and the wood is very mixed - little oak/beech.

31/1/15 used 1.5 stere.  2 stere towards the back and most of the side by the door left.
May 2015.   About 1.2 slabs left, meaning 2014/15 usage is (6 -2.5) - 1.2 = 2.3 stere.
14/5/15 Started cutting and splitting. About 25 average 20cm diameter logs fill the trailer.  This gives slightly less than 0.5 slab, and takes about 2.5 hours including filling the shed
After 3 trailer loads, >2 slabs, plus the end support wall by the door (0.5 slab) . Plus a good size snake.
