moisture content - a question for Norbertperhaps<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Let us say I have a cord of firewood that registers 15% moisture
content, and a cord that registers 20% moisture, and one that registers 25%.
<BR><BR>I burn the 15% cord and get XY BTUs/lb out of it. <BR>I burn the 20%
cord and almost certainly get fewer BTU/lb out of it, but how much less usable
heat?<BR>And the same for the 25% cord?<BR><BR>Put more succinctly, what is the
penalty for having firewood that is not quite dry? <BR><BR>Thanks.
