dear firewood-o-metre

that sounds like a legit question actually ...
what they are likely wondering is how many should they buy ...

a huge surprise to me was my introduction to a professional candle maker who
was also a scientist...
when she began to describe to me the science of mixing wax to make candles
meet the burning time listed i was stunned
i had no idea candle making was such a science ...
when she began to describe the outfit in the states that does in excess of 2
million $ a year in candles with specified burning time ... i went into
shock

so maybe the question is not so queer ....

regards & happy sitting around the fire /by the minute /hour/ day/ or week
