*Typical cordwood moisture content is 21% and more, so as far as usable BTU's go, you'll receive as much as 1.5 times as much heat from one pallet of this product as you would from cordwood even though 1 pallet of this product is supposed to have an equal amount of BTU's as one cord of wood.

All the heat released during the burning process of this firewood is goes into heating your home, not boiling off the water from the wood that is in the stove waiting to burn next and gooing up your chimney. Plus, most cord wood you buy isn't that great these days. You'll always have your share of Poplar, Grey Birch and other low BTU value woods in your load along with wet, punky wood and grit that produces no heat at all and it even consumes heat when put into a fire because it's wet.
