There is some good looking firewood! Is that 16" stuff?

Yes, Everything 16", All mostly cherry, red oak, and just a little maple

So how many cords are there ? 1.3' (16") x 4' x length / 128

I have 14 cords cut, split, stacked in my sheds.

I have 10 cords in the wood room left over from this past winter and another 3 outside. Another 20 coming in fall.
I don't split my own. Buddy delivers it already cut and split. I know it is more expensive this way, but it is easier on my arthritic hands and shoulders.

Not sure lol, I will have to measure the length but I'm guessing around 7 or 8 cords

About 1/2 and 1/2. I sell a lot of that stuff to (the stuff thats bark free and split smaller) to summer and fall fire pit burning people. Kind of a nice little side gig

Good looking rows there MM. I've tried different variants of the "stacking" (gosh I wish someone would invent a machine that you just throw the wood splits in and the thing walks down a path while making a stack) At any rate, the fastest way (and not saying you're looking for the fastest way) I've found is to split at the stack. (Actually, I do everything right at the splitter including bucking the logs) I figured I had to bend over anyway with the bucket full of splits for the bottom rows (in your case the wheel barrow). I just let a pile of splits grow about 2' tall and just sort of place or kick them from the pile right on the rails. Less wood handling which I like.
Everyone does things differently to feed their inner soul.

We had so many spurts of mild weather this winter that I have a lot of firewood surplus now. And last winter, I had some leftover too. I had been worried, because I had a log splitter injury last winter and didn't process as much wood as I wanted, but with these two mild winters I am still in an overall surplus going into the next 2 years. The bad thing is that wood beetles will end up eating a lot of that surplus, so some of it will go to waste. Firewood that sits around more than about 2-3 years here really gets hit hard by the beetles.

At one point at the end of February, I figured I was going to be carrying unused firewood off my porch for the summer, but this recent cold snap has helped us mow through it.
