T<\/span>hese two questions have been quite common for the 12+ years we\u2019ve been in business.\u00a0 What does a cubic foot box of wood weigh?\u00a0 How many pieces do you estimate are in a cubic foot box of wood?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the regulations imposed by The National Conference on Weights and Measures -Uniform Regulation for the Method of Sale of Commodities<\/strong>, we cannot specify weight on a wood product, even though we are a cooking wood.\u00a0 Instead, when asked about weight, we only provide an estimate clearly stating that wood is not sold by weight<\/a> due to the variation in moisture level and density of the wood selected.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s look at this customer\u2019s overall purchase.<\/p>\n

Wood Chunk for Smoking- It\u2019s In The Numbers<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

T<\/span>he packaged hardwood weighed in a 32.5 lbs<\/strong>. \u00a0A total of 139 <\/strong>pieces of wood were packaged.\u00a0 Of that total, 48 pieces were Wild Cherry, 44 pieces Sugar Maple, and 47 pieces Hickory.<\/p>\n

Individual Weights<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

T<\/span>his customer owns equipment that references specific weight of wood needed to smoke optimally.\u00a0 In this case, just 2-4 ounces of wood is ideal.<\/p>\n

Although weights for each of the 139 pieces of wood were not obtained, sufficient sampling was done.\u00a0 Here is what was reported:<\/p>\n
