Enter your measurements
What Log Store Size Do I Need uses firewood needed for season, stacked-solid volume ratio, ventilation reserve fraction and the other configured measurements to return log store capacity with a formula written specifically for this tool.
- Firewood needed for season — Required
- Stacked-solid volume ratio — Required
- Ventilation reserve fraction — Required
Log store capacity
Enter the measurements above to calculate log store capacity.
How the calculation works
V9 calculation: storeInternalVolume=seasonWoodVolume/stackingEfficiency×(1+airGapReserve). The result is reported as log store capacity.
Worked example
Example: Firewood needed for season = 2000 L; Stacked-solid volume ratio = 80%; Ventilation reserve fraction = 20%. Result: Store Internal Volume = 3000 L.
Before you decide
The result is only as accurate as the measurements entered. This page calculates the stated geometry or quantity only; product-specific construction or installation details can still affect the final choice. For what log store size do i need, the limiting result on this page is log store capacity.
Direct measurement/geometry calculation. No external reference is required for the arithmetic itself; the result is derived only from the user-entered measurements and the formula stored in calculationLogicJson.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Log Store Size calculator tell me?
It returns log store capacity from the measurements entered on this page. The calculation is specific to log store size, so the result should be compared with the exact product or specification you are considering.
Which measurements should I take for log store size?
Measure firewood needed for season, stacked-solid volume ratio, ventilation reserve fraction. Use clear, usable dimensions rather than nominal room or product labels.
Should I round the log store capacity?
Keep the calculated value for comparison, then choose a real product that meets or stays within the returned log store capacity while allowing for the clearances, tolerances or ratings shown by its manufacturer.
